Brian,

Netiquette or not, I prefer to read responses that have the new text on 
top - the subject and my memory (I do read most all the posts on this 
reflector) are usually sufficient to tell me what I need to know about the 
prior information.  Scrolling down to find the latest response is a waste of 
time IMHO.  In a few cases, such as when the original poster asks several 
questions, the most expediant thing to do is put the answer to each part in 
line with the question - but that is not the normal case.  For my part, 
please put your response at the beginning. (and yes, do strip out as much of 
the extra stuff as is reasonable - the person you are responding to knows 
what he asked).

73,
Don W3FPR
