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

JohnWhy 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...
