 Quoting Style
Firstly, using this method with a signature between new and quoted text is a dead loss; some newsreaders snip off signatures in displayed articles, resulting in the reader seeing only the new text - so this style of top posting will (for some readers) decay to the no quoted text case.
Quoting signatures (the fixed text at the end of the article) is worth mentioning as a specific example of needless quoting.
One is failing to attribute the quoted text, or failing to attribute all of it; quite often you see several levels of quoted text with only the first level attributed.

 Quotation mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quotes are also sometimes used for emphasis in lieu of underlining or italics, most commonly found on signs or placards.
Straight quotes (or italic straight quotes) are often used to approximate the prime and double prime (e.g., when signifying inches and feet, or arcminutes and arcseconds).
Curved and straight quotes are also sometimes referred to as “smart quotes” and "dumb quotes" respectively; these names are in reference to the name of a function (found in word processors like Microsoft Word) that automatically converts straight quotes typed by the user into curved quotes.

 Dan's Mail Format Site | Quoting | Bottom Posting
Thus, a linear presentation of all the messages, in their entirety, that led up to the current one, might not make any particular logical sense compared to a selective quoting of the portions of recent messages that are actually relevant to the current digression.
The next section of quoted material is a part I want to keep, so I move the cursor down to the end of the section, to the point where I want to start replying.
Still others don't mess with the line format of quoted text, so that lines keep getting longer as more angle brackets are placed at their start; this is why it is recommended you keep line length relatively short to allow several levels of quoting without the lines exceeding 80 characters.

 The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing
There are a thousand ways to go wrong—putting too much stress on quotations, quoting too much, quoting the wrong passages, blurring the line between your voice and those of the sources you quote, disrupting the flow of your argument, and so on.
Quoting too much is one of the commonest mistakes inexperienced writers make, as if they think it's disrespectful to an original text to cut it into small pieces.
Be selective in the quotations you use, and be selective in what you quote from them, keeping only the heart of the quotation as much as possible and keeping the rest of the paper in your own voice and words.

 FAQ: Of proper quoting
Quote only what is essential to make it possible for the reader to understand what your posting or email message is about.
Also, one of the arguments that has been posed in favor of the excessive quoting is that threads may be broken and full quoting is therefore imperative to be able to follow what is going on.
In particular, if for the flow of the text you have to quote text that already is quoted, it may become quite difficult to get it right who actually said what.

 CVCQuoting
Quoting poems do not transform to suit their purposes the words of the text from which they borrow; they duplicate the intrusive textural, material properties of another text.
Quoting poems may be metonymic, particularly when, as Diepeveen puts it, readers cannot tell which quality(ies) of the quotations are “important” and therefore cannot reduce their relations to paraphrase.
Basing the voice of the quoting poem primarily on number does much to explain these poems’ characteristics, for the voice of the quoting poem is created primarily by encouraging or suppressing multiple voices The lyric quoting voice almost totally controls the new inserted voices and attempts to erase them.

 QuoteWerks - Tips for Selecting Quoting Software
For some quoting software packages, the extent of their integration may only be to retrieve the contact name and address information from a contact record in the contact management software.
Some send the quote in the body of the email as simple text so the formatting is not preserved resulting in the information floating around instead of aligning with columns, rows, etc all of which looks very unprofessional and unimpressive when received by your customer.
Some quoting software packages store their data in industry standard database formats like Microsoft Access, Dbase, FoxPro, etc. The advantage to storing data in industry standard database formats is that it allows you to externally access the data that is in these databases.

 Quoting Shakespeare | LJWorld.com
Marjorie Garber, a Harvard University scholar and author who spoke at KU earlier this month, says those quoting Shakespeare’s plays often attribute the quotes directly to the poet himself with the line, “As Shakespeare said...” Even Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations cites Shakespeare — and not the plays he wrote — as the source of the quotations.
And Shakespeare quotes are showing up often in motivational speeches and books geared to businessmen and businesswomen.
In the Monday, March 13 article entitled "Quoting Shakespeare," the quotes "to thine own self be true" and "neither a borrower nor a lender be" come from Hamlet, not Julius Caesar.

Quoting and underwriting are complicated processes in the health care industry and involve many factors: customer information, underwriting guidelines and communication between companies, brokers, sales reps, and underwriters.
