When I open a message on a mailing list or newsgroup and see nothing but
quoted text I usually just move on to the next message. On the other
hand I find top-posted responses that remain cryptic until I've scrolled
through a hundred lines of mostly-irrelevant quoted text a bit
irritating too.
It's better not to post "Thanks" to a busy mailing list. If you must do
so please put "Thanks" in the subject line.

I elide as required and interleave my response. I recall only one
instance of someone objecting (on Usenet many years ago.)
