That's how good email and usenet software should work.
not only that but even good email and usenet USERS. A good usenet
behavior, essential for a good comunication, is not what`s interesting
most of the people in these days. Most I personally disagree is not only
top-posting (arguments have been discussed). Well, if somebody "must"
top-post, I can/must live with, BUT unnecessary full-quoting again and
again is a widespreaded undisciplined absurdity especially not only to
childish, ungrown, unlearnable lazy people or relative newbies confusing
usenet/NGs with chatrooms.
Another misbehavior, IMHO:
1. is top-posting with a sig-delimiter directly after the top-post AND
further then fullquoting within the siglines (should be not more than 4
lines)
2. using other quoting markers as ">". So postings, especially within
longer threads. become more and more confusing/unreadble because of a
mixture of ">, |, #, :" and so on
3. OT and flaming
