In an ideal world, no-one should be "top posting" or "bottom posting". As
you point out, both methods require people to scroll and/or re-read
earlier messages unnecessarily.

By all means quote parts of the message you're replying to, but it's best
not to include the whole thing. If you do, you have to write the new stuff
either at the top ("top posting") or the bottom ("bottom posting") which
is guaranteed to annoy 50% of your readers.

Trim the stuff that's not needed :)

Cheers!
