The advantage is, you can trim all but the relevant line or two to which
you're replying, and do that with multiple sentences/paragraphs if
necessary, replying to each right along with the text to which you're
replying, and have a nice neat post that's easy for anyyone to read and
follow.  It even works well when it's helpful to include a couple layers of
quotes for continuity, as long as you trim what's not relevant.

Of course, it doesn't work when people don't bother to trim anything, and
just add their 1 or 2 lines at the bottom of dozens and dozens of lines with
8 layers of completely irrelevant quotes, which makes it very difficult to read.
