Ok, so you are using GMail, as I am, so we use to keep all previous mails at
the bottom, because the way GMail does it is cool (between GMail users). It
folds everything that has been told previously and only displays "- Show
quoted text -". But for other people, they see aaall the discussion after
what you are saying
(see<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-April/005731.html>).
So if you quote people top-posting and people bottom posting... you are
quoting a big mess in non-chronological order...
So in mailling lists, we have to quote only the little bit we are replying
to, and reply below it.
