I hate having to scroll to the bottom to get to the answer.

When a response includes properly trimmed quotes, the amount of additional
scrolling is insignificant.

And I have NEVER (let me repeat that for you lesser beings) NEVER had a
problem knowing what the post was a response to.

Then why do you quote the previous post at all? Personally, I think it's
more likely that you do have a problem sometimes knowing what the post was a
response to, but that you simply don't realize it. You just *think* your
assumption is correct, when it turns out not to be.
