Again you made broad assumptions. The quoted part below is a normal
quotation within an email reader. However it then appends *all the
previous discussion* as well.
By it, I mean the email program, not me. I could of course manual cut
off the remainder of the email each and every time I post, but then how
would I piss you off? I mean sheeeesh.
So now you know, or should know, this is not something people are
purposely *doing* to annoy you. It is something that is being done
*to* them, and possibly annoys them, just as much as it's done to and
annoys you. You victim you ;)

Cute isn't it? Not.
It's hard for me to learn how to use it without pissing off sensitive
types

You've managed an even sillier style in some of your messages,
"double top posting", where you top-post your reply over a double
quote, first a trimmed quote of the part of the message you're
