    versus

		Your reply, lazily put at the top.

	In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread
	the moment this lazy quoting method is used. He figures that
	if you can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
	minutes of the readers time, the heck with ya.

While I think replying at the beginning is clearly unfavored, I replies
mixed within the message should be fine (since they are really just
multiple replies each at the end of a quoted block).
