Please trim the fluff from the message you are replying to, then add your
responses immediately following whatever you are responding too.  I read
your paragraph above and didn't know what it was referring too.  I just
happened to see the top of my message in the bottom of the window, but I
came within 100mS of hitting delete.

The extra 2 seconds it takes to do it right on your end saves hassle for all
the 2000 people that will read your message.  It also shows a little care
and thoughtfullness toward those from whom you are seeking a favor.  Just
plopping your response at the top of an untrimmed message basically says
"I'm more important than you are", which isn't a smart thing to say to
volunteers.
