And he's not the only culprit.
I have noticed that users of these mailinglists have a habbit of quoting the entire previous posts and responds with either a top-, or "bottom"-post.
Some even responds in the quoted text, like they should, but forget to only quote the relevant part.

These anoyances makes it hard to follow the discussions for some people.

I've been thinking for a few days about making a post about this fenomenon, but you beat me to it.
I've also been thinking of starting to respond to such posts and point out that they are polluting the list with useless garbage.
