Hope this helps. :)

I'd rather see top-posted replies where the quoting is judiciously
edited down, rather than a voluminous quote followed by a one-liner at
the bottom.  That being said, the big deal is editing down.

Even worse, in my opinion, is no quoting, because then you end up
like Bob May, where no one has any idea what the heck he's talking
about.  You end up with conversations that look backwards, like this
one.  It may sound reasonable that way, but top posting is frowned
upon in large part because it makes it difficult to determine the
context.


I swear (damn...see!?), I didn't read Brian's post first!
