Yes, that's why it's also recommended to *remove all lines you're not
replying to*. A full quote is always annoying (unless it's really needed
to get some context, which is in general rare).
Not only people with a vision problem will be thankful for that. Like I
recommended to *read* on top posting, instead of repeating myths that are
made up by people who are ignorant.
Simple recipe:

I am sure that people with a vision problem who jump into the thread
prefer a small context over listening "upside down" to get some context, I
mean:
A: top posting
Q: what is the most annoying thing on Usenet
Now imagine that Q is quote after quote after qoute because a hand ful of
lazy clueless bastards want to save time.
