I've been on many lists that implemented a "must-trim quoted text rule."
The best implementations I've seen haven't been those that force a
specific ratio. What seems to work best is a simple rule that states if
the quoted text includes the list footer, it's automatically bounced
back to the sender with a warning. 

Leaving the footer in shows that you didn't bother to even try to trim
the quoted text. On the other hand, if you've taken the time to remove
the footer, you've most likely taken the time to trim anything not
relevant to your response.
