Hey Joel, is the Backspace key on your keyboard broken? :-)
This sort of mass (and unnecessary) quoting is why Bottom-Posting gets a
bad reputation. The reader shouldn't have to scroll through 6+
screenfuls of text to see your one, solitary comment. Please snip the
quoted text to the minimum needed to establish context.
If your mail client doesn't allow deleting the quoted text (and you
can't get a better mail client!) it is better to Top-Post (heresy!),
provided your signature shows up above the quoting so we know to stop
reading.
Thanks in advance,
