James - consideration is a matter of perception. If you're perceived to 
be inconsiderate then you are being so. No amount of rationalisation can 
explain it or change minds. It's a good idea to just accept that you are 
being so and change to accommodate as bet you're able.

Indeed. It's very common for me to be sent a big top posted email with 
the advice "read up from the bottom". When you trim and comment inline 
the history of the discussion is lost. This *only* applies to person to 
person email and doesn't apply where the emails are archived, such as on 
  this list.

is to it :-)
