Thats one reason for you.  Don't be selfish.

It makes reading from the mailing list archive (linked at the end of
each email) much easier if quotes are limited to the relevant sections
and the reply is at the bottom.  Gmail will often hide the quoted
section, but it doesn't for all (not really sure how it works).

It's best to just follow the standard etiquette.
