I consider it sensible to do so, as you can tell from this
message, but this is not something that's enforced or even really
patrolled. What IS considered deeply improper is to quote an entire
message for just a few lines of response. (And if you include the
list's signature file in the quoted material, that's just rude. As
are lengthy legal disclaimer sigs, but never mind that now.)
This holds true whether the response is at the top or the bottom.
If you're trimming all the excess quoted material you can without
losing too much context to frame the response, that's good enough.
When I see excess quoting, I'll contact the poster off-list to ask
them to keep quoted material trimmed down in the future. It isn't
generally something for which I put people under moderation, or
anything like that.
Finally, reaching the list administrators is easy: mail
css-d-ow...@lists.css-discuss.org. Now you know-- and knowing is
half the battle.
