Mr. Markerink, You opinion that "reverse order means inefficient quoting by default" is only an opinion, and it is not shared by many others.
For me it is more efficient to have the response precede the quote because if I've been following the thread I'm already familiar with the context of the response. If you do decide to implement this Hitlerian rule of conformity there will be many who's insight will be lost to the list.
