I hate top posting. I recommend only quoting what's relevant to your message. And quoting in chronological order. Putting the burden on the reader isn't a good idea in a mailing list (there are more readers than writers).
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Top posting with full quoted text retention is for CYA in business situations. Mailing lists are a collaborative mind meld like would be conducted around a table if we were in person. Around a table replies certainly don't come before earlier statements, and if you had to rehash every single bit of the conversation just to make an additional point, progress would be impeded by more than an order of magnitude.
