Also, for anyone else who might not like quoting, if the quoting occurs
after the message, then it is not a problem for anyone. I also don't like
the quoting at the top, because most of the time I don't want to read
through it, but it is nice to have it below.

Lorenzo,
With all due respect, this may not be true. People are joining all the
time, and even those here are searching the archives when looking for
something. Sometimes a thread shifts and the first part of it or the
source question is no longer clear.
Therefore at least in a information based list like this repeating that
message both gives readers a chance to follow the discussion, and may
even save time in having a topic repeated.
Does this make sense?
