I disagree that bottom posting is "correct". It is merely a matter of
preference, sometimes strong preference.
I have a very strong preference against posting replies inline, but I do
not assert that my preference is correct.
I recognize that some people find bottom posting preferable, just as
some people find top posting preferable.
I do agree that cutting the previous messages down to essentials is a
good idea.

Actually, the correct thing to do is to cut the previous message down to the
essential part that you are replying to, then enter your reply. You don't need
to reproduce the entirety of the previous message; just the relevant portion
(or even a portion of the relevant portion) -- just enough to provide context
for the reply.
You can then add your comments either in-line or at the bottom and your message
will then make sense to everyone, whether he has been following the thread or
just looked at one single message.
