> I _allways_ reply new message above the original one
This is just bad netiquette. From the Netiquette FAQ:
<blockquote>
Should you begin your reply before or after the quote? Most people seem to
prefer that others reply after the quote. Doing this will produce a
logical progression of responses in the body of each new reply in the
thread.
Be careful when you are removing portions of a series of nested
replies to avoid attributing words to the wrong person. Note that a
">" in front of each line indicates the most recent reply. A ">>" in
front of each line indicates the next most recent reply and so on.
Knowing this will help you keep track of who said what.
Should you quote all of the message you are replying to? That depends on
the size of the original. If the message is small, go ahead. However, if
the message is large, it's a good idea to remove any portions of the
original that aren't relevant to your reply or which are repetitious.
As Prof. Timo Salmi of the University of Vaasa, Finland says, "The
number one rule of quoting is quote judiciously. Quote only what is
essential to make it possible for the reader to understand what your
posting or email message is about. As a rule avoid quoting an entire
message (signatures and all). It is not judicious to quote, say, a
hundred lines of discussion just to input a single line of one's own.
Proper quoting is a skill. If you are going to quote, devote some time
to working the quote appropriately. Don't be lazy in this respect."
When you remove something from what you are quoting, it's considered
good form to substitute something like "(clipped)" (without the
quotation marks) for what you have removed.
</blockquote>
Or as Nick Moffitt put it rather concisely:
A: No.
Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?
