Flaming is bad, but I for one don't have too much of a problem with
excess quoting. It doesn't take _that_ much time to read as I
generally skim-read anyway. I question how much time is "lost" with
/excessive/ quoting.

I have a bigger problem with people making initial posts full or
unnecessary verbiage and no concrete information.

Again, I'm not too fussed - I work in a Microsoft Environment where
most people do this - I respect the etiquette guidelines of the list
on this, but I don't usually castigate people for it.
