Only if the poster is too lazy to chop away the irrelevant parts.  This kind
of laziness usually manifests in top posters, who quote EVERYTHING
(including signatures and blank lines at the bottom).

If you only want to post the new stuff, then DON'T QUOTE AT ALL -- chop off
that bottom quote in a top post that only serves the purpose of eating up
disk space, bandwidth and reduce retention -- after all, if you want the
full text of the previous post, you simply go to the previous post.  It's
listed in the header of the reply post, and most newsreader will give you
easy access to it.

No regards,
