I don't see your point. You just need to move the cursor *after* the quoted text and start typing. Regardless whether quoting a lot of text or not. If you want to quote more than a couple lines you just don't have to trim it down too much. Which means less editing -- whether top or bottom posting. However, I was just asking not to top-post. Whether one does it or not is (unfortunately) something I have no bearing on. Regards. PS: Since this discussion is OT I suggest to reply privately if you feel the need for it.
