Well... this is a first. Most groups want you to clip, but not totally delete the former message to indicate what you are referring to, but this is the very first group where anyone actually wants all that repetition. I figure I can cue up the previous message if I cannot figure it out. Otherwise, a short reference is enough.

Maybe I will take a different view in another ten years. . . .    ;-)

In any case, I prefer a top reply - rather than a bottom reply - I don't like scrolling down through endless copies of previous messages, which can add up if you don't clip the previous messages short, just to find the reply. That way, if we know what it is about, we don't have to scroll down to the bottom of every reply. I cannot see why it is good to repeat the entire thread in every message, but... well... to each his own.
