Those are good, dispassionate articles which explain the matter very well,
IMO. There will, of course, now be a furious debate on top-posting,
attributions and yet more on snipping. ;-))

Accompanied by much plonking. Flush them out and kill.

Oh, I'm not getting into all that stuff myself. I like the way things are
'usually' done on urg and am happy to go along with them!

On the other hand, bottom posting (or interwoven) just seemed common
