I fully agree. Using fullquotes it does not matter very much whether you
do it at top or bottom. Both is stupid for replies and even worse on
mailing lists where everyone should know about all the former messages.

There's just one occasion where private messages would require a
fullquote: when you do give a message to someone who does not know the
former messages.

But for this purpose there is a definition of its own: this would be a
*forwarding* instead of a reply.
