It is actually very refreshing to read messages that are terse, 
exact and to the point. There was absolutely no need for the user 
to resend all the messages that already have been sent in this thread 
and that may or may not have been relevant to the users text. 

It is simply common sense to cut away irrelevant sections of the 
previous messages, and to include only the parts that are relevant 
to ones own message. 

Also what does the following type of posting actually do for the
reader: 

A: Because people read from top to bottom.
Q: Why is top posting bad?
