There is not a "list quoting policy" per se, but top-posting is
certainly "allowed".

As for quoting every email in a thread -- _SOMETIMES_ it is useful
when trying to track down a hard-to-find problem.  Having all the
"transaction history" right in front of you (well, right in front of
me ;) can be extremely useful at times.

Granted, I usually just "save the thread" in Gnus so it's not a huge
issue -- IF I know ahead of time that it might be a challenging issue.

I admit that I've been pretty poor about quoting recently -- it's
partly laziness, and I too appologize to the list.  But it WILL happen
again ;)
