Dear Bob, 

1.  please be considerate of volunteer effort, as it is very valuable,
and the enthusiasm required for it isn't infinite in each volunteer.

2.   Wasting  someones  time  with  excess  quoting  and  flaming   in
mailinglists is a good way to ensure that he'll loose his enthusiasm.

3.  One of the reasons that many lists have netiquettes and have added
top-posting to the list of things to avoid.

Here's another simple rule-of-3:

1. Feel  free  to continue like that.

2.  Others will feel free to killfile your address and thus won't ever
again see your emails.

3. Welcome to my killfile.
