I try to do it on lengthy threads, but sometimes I'm also spoiled by
Gmail, which hides quoted stuff automatically while reading.

Gmail is also another contributor of the long argument of people that
like replying at the bottom vs. at the top.  But I've been using Pine
for 20 years (CLI, non-GUI of course), and even that defaults to the
top and is easier to read that way.  But I know there are several
end-of-message-reply preferred folks here.  The war that shall never
end. :)
