I disagree, put the new text at the top - or see your message end up in trash - most of the time I cant bother scrolling down unless its something I am really interested in, and unless there is enough test within view, how do I know - the subject line is generally too little info? Same deal with quoting (which I presume someone posted too much), dont get too vigorous in deleting, short yes, but leave enough meat so someone can come in on a thread and at least know enough to follow without having to dig up old messages, which may not be available - I often just bulk delete when busy (get approx 150 messages a day, with only short periods to read em!), then sometimes finding something interesting in the middle of a thread. If you take the time to write, at least try and make it easy for your intended audience or your words are wasted.
