Following is the first paragraph from 
<http://mailformat.dan.info/quoting/top-posting.html>

"The most heated debate regarding the format of electronic 
messages is the one about how to arrange quoted material and 
your response to it in replies. In just about any newsgroup or 
mailing list, whether the intended subject matter is cats or 
football, the "Great Top or Bottom Posting Debate" has flared 
up, producing "religious wars" that are akin to the fictional 
war in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels over which side of an 
egg to crack."
