If I've read the previous post 2min / 2 hours ago I don't want to have to scroll through it again to see the new content its just pointless.
Obviously you have not understood another concept in good maillist behaviour. Only quote the sections you actually reply to. If you don't include eg 300 lines of nonrelevant text, there will be nothing for others to "scroll through again".
In this respect there is a big difference between how to post to a maillist and how write mail to eg a supportdepartment (in the latter it's often crucial that you toppost and include the full mails from all previous contacts as reference since it's not nessecarily the same person you are communicating with thoughout the contact).
Some short guidelines Maillists: Bottompost & minimal quoting Supportmail: Toppost & full quoting Private email: Whatever you feel comfortable with since the person you are replying to likely knows what (s)he wrote you anyway.
