Why do some people put the original quote below the response? This is stupid. Please don't do this anymore. Thank you.

I do it because I assume most people have already read the post to which I'm responding, but i want to include the quote so it;s clear to people in flat mode. If i put it at the the top, they have to scroll down past it to get to my response. If my response is first, and they know what I'm referring to they don't have to go down and read it.

It gets really good when there are several quotes and it gets all mixed up between over and under-quoters.
