I agree with Tom on this. People that put their reply at the bottom of tons
of text annoy me. Either trim the text or put the reply at the top.

If you're trying to quote a particular piece of the text then obviously 
you will put it above. But if someone is just replying in general, like 
I am here, we already know they're doing that. Having to scroll over two 
screens of text that comprise the entire conversion to date before 
reaching any useful information isn't helpful.
