Yeah, and they're nearly all braindead top-posters to boot...

Right on...    8-)

I'm fully in favour of "quoted-line to new content" ratio moderation. 
Simply bounce any message with more quoted lines than non-quoted, or 
whatever more or less harsh ratio you think is reasonable.  Messages 
without "substantial" new content relative to quoted content are 
generally (like 95-99%) not worth the bandwidth, storage space or 
deletion time they "consume".
