IMHO that really is good. Unfortunately that will encourage some folks
to use TOFU style [1]. You can't have everything... ;-)

It wouldn't be necessary to delete Mikes sig, if he would use the

There was an idea to make it a configurable option: Custom "xxx wrote"
quote starting line with the ability of going to the top or bottom of
the message. You can find it in the archives. Dunno, if it is considered
a future option...

Or a lot of other mailing list of your choice. Those debates are really
common and users tend to take it personally...


No flame wars, please...
