Thank you for writing this Public Service Announcement. It is well spoken, and worth keeping around to revisit when the busy life stands in the way of careful editing we all know we should engage in. This is not only for the sake of others: I find that judicious editing of the quotes help me write, by organizing the thought and writing process.

BTW, at the risk of being Captain Obvious, I remind that most email clients, including the mobile ones, do the right thing if you drag-mark the relevant pieces of the mail you're responding to: they include only the marked pieces and position the cursor below them rather than at the default top.
