Top-posting is one thing, but what really gets me are the geniuses who
reply
to posts without quoting ANYTHING

They balance out the "geniuses" who reply to posts while quoting the
*entire* post to which they are replying, including the signature and
*previously* quoted material.

Previously quoted material may occasionally be needed for context (see above
for example). As for the signature thing, this is the first time I've ever
heard it mentioned by anyone, but I suppose it's no big deal for me to avoid
quoting them.
