Top-posting

[Werner Koch]

> Everyone is going to steal this.

FWIW: Perry E. Metzger gives this shorter version for many years:

A3: Please.
Q3: Should I avoid top posting on this mailing list?

A2: Because, by reversing the order of a conversation, it leaves the
    reader without much context, and makes them read a message in an
    unnatural order.
Q2: Why is top posting irritating?

A1: It is the practice of putting your reply to a message before the
    quoted message, instead of after the (trimmed) message.
Q1: What is top posting?



Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
