Well, you youngsters have it wrong.  <grin> It used to -be- proper 
etiquette to quote at the top, both for usenet and email.  The reason: our 
connections were a lot slower and we could read the messages as they 
streamed by, cancelling a download if we saw enough.

I agree about the HTML, proper quoting, etc. but quote-location is sort of 
like code indentation - minor religions.
