If you're quoting enough you have to scroll before you see new text, you're
including too much. Your answer indicates you didn't read that website.
The idea of quoting is to give people as much conversational context as
possible for what you're saying. If you're having a hard time spotting new
material, try changing the color of quoted material to green: Any real news
reader can do this.

I can. Block users from file sharing or connecting to any type of service
the enterprise doesn't consider work-related.

That's not what any firewall is good for. If Microsoft is trying to
implement packet filtering for this reason, they're probably better
rewriting all that 20+ year old code they keep case-and-pasting into the
next version instead of keeping it and it's bugs around.
