No, no, no! Naughty Daniel! Lay off the toxic custard!
Having people scrolling past the quoted text is a *desirable* behaviour,
as it gives them the opportunity to get the context of a posting without
having down to see the quoted text, then scroll *up* to see the reply.
Why, one might as well suggest that posters use no quoted text for
establishing context at all, and that way madness lies.
Top-posting is just Bad. When in doubt, I always turn to the Scripture:
