So this is how you think responses should be?  Because you want to re-read what you just submitted to the list?  I'm using whatever the list wants.  I don't really care, to be honest.  Some lists won't even reply if you don't choose their method.  

I don't need reading comprehension for a post I submitted myself.  Second, I don't need it above the text of someone that replies to me.  Because if that is the case, then the thread will get longer and longer, because people need a full reference of the thread in the past, above any new material.  That, is defeating the purpose of a thread.  

Anybody posting in a list should follow the culture, not individuals that haven't seen this before.  The point of the question, regardless of how it's been quoted, has evaded both of you.  So no method of quoting has clarified anything.
