We actually recommend the "Interleaved text" method of quoting in the
CentOS lists:

But ... certainly bottom posting is better than top posting on the
CentOS lists:

We have links to those and other resources that pertain to the CentOS
mailing lists on the CentOS website (to hopefully explain why we think
that way):
