Why don't I *always* want to view that quote from the previous post? Because its text was typically posted today or yesterday, and I still remember what it said. Besides, the mail/news software I use keeps msgs (both read and unread) in sequence within threads -- so it is trivial for me to go back and read the whole previous post, if I wish.
If the context isn't important, then it shouldn't be included at all. That just wastes bandwidth and storage space. If the context is important, than it should be placed in a place of importance. IMHO, of course, but IMHO, my HO is the only important O. :) Besides, my mail program respects the "page down" button. Scrolling in general only requires one extra button press, if any... --Danny, who would *never* post something unimportant :)
