LOL, that's a good one.
Since I'm *exeptionnaly* top-posting, try to guess what I found so funny. 
My 2 "centimes" is top posting may be OK when you only expect one simple 
reply, as "Thanks for invitation, I will come".
*In any other case it becomes a nightmare.*
Your reply may look good when you write it, but how can anyone add to it 
without creating havock?
Whorst of all is mixing top and bottom posting, therefore letting everybody 
decide how they want to reply is as insane as letting them decide on which 
side of the road they want to drive. It is just not fit for this type of 
list. The only way I can conceive is the answer comes after the question, that 
is middle posting, and bottom posting is a special case of it. 
Now I'm goint to shout, I know it's forbidden but it stresses some parts of 
the text better than  "*...*", and today I feel like trangressing.
Saying that it should all be done backwards BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO SCROLL 
DOWN is expecting EVERYBODY to remember the thread to such a point THEY WON'T 
HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN in order to read the question you answered, BUT THEN WHY 
QUOTE IT?
Of course you have to trim the quoted text, that will make reading easier for 
people like Ron and his handeld device (even my scroll mouse wheel overheats 
sometimes).
