Ya, agreed. People have always been lazy and dumb.

Well I really minimize my quotes, so rarely would a quoted section be
more than a half screen. Therefore one need only shift one's eyes down
to read fresh message stuff. I don't know about your email reader but
mine puts quoted and fresh in different colours so it's real easy to
tell which is which.

Once again Agent rules!

Top posting with proper snipping is fine with me. Unfortunately people
are human and it's only too easy to leave hundreds of lines of garbage
below what's written and then click the send button.
