Sometimes I think to myself: No, you don't need to send me back all that 
quoted text, I know it already.

I call that Tofu: Top-quote, full text underneath. (acronym works even 
better in German)

For hints and rationales behind quoting, have a look at

Sometime new messages are actual replies with changed subject. That is 
quite convenient for people writing messages, but results in new topics 
attached to existing threads, which is inconvenient for readers.

ps: Eric, can you change the mailing list footer so that it has a line 
with "-- "? This would at least get us rid of this footer cascades.
