A few tips on keeping your replies well-organized so they don't turn
into tangled messes:
* Always leave a blank line between each section of quoted material
and each section of reply, so they don't run together and make it
hard to tell which is which.
* Trim down quoted material to the minimum needed to establish
context. Snip out unnecessary parts, especially signature blocks and
list footers; there's no need to quote that stuff back.
* Put your answer after the question you are answering instead of
before; this is not the Jeopardy! game show.
