Really? In blatant disregard for the published guidelines for
use on this and other centos.org mailing lists? How very
sporting of you.

Why do we bottom post? People have said so you can read what has been
already written before you reply.
But all the time people <snip> out big sections. That IMHO defeats the
reason for bottom posting.
No IMHO.
You snip a text and keep important stuff so people can better understand
your answer.
With bottom posting, you have the text in the normal read order.
I am a tech support engineer and all i can say is that top posting is
very irritating, i receive like 400 e-mail a day... Reading long posts
reverse is a nightmare.
You may have reason to resist bottom posting like using Outlook (which
has many default like not respecting anything: Standards, posting order,
etc). But that's an entire other story...
