>Is there a way to only include bottom banner once

The short answer would be to encourage everyone sending replies to quote
only minimally, and in particular not to quote the banner at all.

Often this will require their overriding a default setting of their e-mail
application, but still it is easy to do.

In particular, arranging to quote nothing in the original takes the most
trivial of effort: Hit either Control-A or Command-A as appropriate when
your message-composition window first displays the original, and then
start typing.

Quoting just one string from the original takes only a tiny bit more effort:
Highlight and Copy that one string before invoking Reply, and then after
hitting Control-A or Command-A where appropriate and starting to type
(for example, just typing the original sender's name and a comma, as above),
Paste the string into your message-composition window.

Chris commented on an expectation per Netiquette "that signature blocks
be removed when quoting in a reply." In fact the relevant expectation is
that quotation be of about the minimum needed to provide a fair amount of
context; ideally, one should be able to quote an exact minimum, but people
don't usually work that hard at it.
