Thanks for the clarification. > Please remember not to top-post. Both bottom posting and top posting each have their own disadvantages. Bottom posting requires scrolling past text that may be not needed. Top posting puts the messages in reverse chronological order, which is not something bad by itself. When I explicitly want a quote to reply to a specific parts of a message, I post after the parts, as in this message; I don't know if that would still be considered bottom posting. When I am including the previous message *only* for reference, I use top posting because the previous message is also archived in the inbox of the other users, so the quotation included for reference is of secondary importance, and therefore IMO should go after the *important* (new) information, that is, at the bottom. Is there a rule, guideline or de-facto standard mandating either style in debian-user?
