You aren't using your news reader correctly then since most can be
configured not to show the quoted material to to skip to the unquoted
material.
Additional issues to consider:
1) some people read 2000 articles a day and want to have context for
comments.
2) A. Top-posting
Q. What is the most annoying thing on Usenet.
3) Usenet isn't about /your/ convenience. Remember that literally
thousands of people may read your reply. So don't be selfish,
consider that the anti-top-posting standards exist for reasons and
those reasons don't revolve around you but the millions of Usenet
readers.
4) You ever had to go to deja.com while doing a STFW and wasted hours
of valuable time because people with small dicks couldn't bother to
trim useless material from their replies and insisted on removing all
context from their words because they thought they were the only
person who mattered?[0]

[0] Ok I really like #4. Maybe one day I will write the diffinative
rant against top posting and to make it on topic here I will do it all
in block text. I feel inspired.
