As far as I know, Harry, it's up to us. You'll see some of each, and  
both.

When, as here, both what's not snipped away and my response to it  
might fit on even a relatively small screen w/o scrolling, I often  
add my response below what's not snipped.

Otherwise, I usually add my response above what is not snipped away,  
but even then try to be conscientious about snipping as much as  
possible w/o making my response difficult to understand for lack of  
context.

Editing the subject line as necessary or desirable is, I think, also  
important. Both that and snipping make dealing with the posts a lot  
easier for subscribers who get the posts in batches.

Please excuse the unasked-for advice, which I expect you don't need  
but I couldn't resist.
