Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your message and following it with all quoted text below, is not encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list because a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the top of the message b) It encourages excessive quoting. and c) Since you (correctly) use a legitimate cut mark, the original text is now no longer available for comment, since it falls below the cut mark and will be automatically removed in any reply. The text you quote has effectively become a part of your signature. We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each part separately and follow each part with your response.
