The quoted material provides context.  I don't receive email from any
Yahoo group (by choice) and looking backwards in a thread is not
convenient from the web interface.

So, I appreciate a certain amount of context.  On the other hand, I
prefer to read top posting; I hate scrolling through the context to
find the answer if I am already familiar with the thread.  Others have
a different point of view.

I am not sure that 'netiquette' applies to this situation.  But I am
wrong more often than not...
