Well, I have corrected your top-posting and trimmed the superfluous full quote under. Please don't top post and trim your posts.
What is top-posting? And what practices do you advocate about trimming messages to which one is responding? I don't think there's any agreed-upon convention about this.
My approach is to put the original message first (to set the context) and to trim most everything from it that isn't relevant to the response.

Oh here we go again with the "top posting haters" and "post not trimmed haters" speaking out as if they know the one true correct way to post to an email list. Get over yourselves.... -- Jim Norton - http://www.jimnorton.org 2 + 2 = 5 for large values of 2
