Yeah, that problem is addressed also in the "Top-Posting" thread. Not
only is it recommended to intersperse your replies, trimming excess
material, while leaving enough for context, is also recommended. You did
rather well in this last reply.
PS. I think a lot of people are hesitant to use their "good" email
addresses on this list, such as a Gmail account, because the list mail
is publicly archived, and spammers tend to scrape addresses from the
archives.
