I don't see a reason to start using that dumb, stupid style of quoting
only because others also do so. Message mode has a variable for
starting your text above the quoted text, and it is easily findable with
the usual emacs help facilities. However, I won't mention its name in
the hope that you come to your senses again.
Bye,
