delete the extraneous content.
Top-posting is an acknowledgement and acceptance of failure to trim.
Probably inevitable.
And too many people would rather waste EVERYBODY else's time than spend
their time cleaning up the quoted content.
Don't forget those of us with vision disabilities.
Top posting removes the two issues of:
1. Screen reader going insane and spewing "GREATER THAN" a million
times when someone keeps on quoting up a chain of quotes until the
text consists of a million greater than symbols and a single word.
2. "Time to find the new stuff in the field of old stuff. ... And a
single word takes up my screen. ... TIME FOR FUN!"
Of course with proper trimming inline posting is still perfectly usable.
