Why do you insist on replying first and quoting afterwards?

I'm dyslexic.

Haha I don't know, just a nopak I guess.

I really think about it or think it mattered, but I suppose it might be easier to follow by leaving the quote first.

Better Chicko Risto? We would't want you getting worked up, its bad for an aging heart. Let me know if I should use bigger text as well

It's like reading the page of a book from the bottom up.

When a message is replied to in e-mail, Internet forums, or Usenet, the original can often be included, or “quoted,” in a variety of different posting styles.

The main options are interleaved posting (also called inline replying, in which the different parts of the reply follow the relevant parts of the original post), bottom-posting (in which the reply follows the quote) or top-posting (in which the reply precedes the quoted original message). For each of those options, there is also the issue of whether trimming of the original text is allowed, required, or preferred.

For a long time the traditional style was to post the answer below as much of the quoted original as was necessary to understand the reply (bottom or inline). Many years later, when email became widespread in business communication, it became a widespread practice to reply above the entire original and leave it (supposedly untouched) below the reply.

lol, honestly it was probably just a habit from years of working in an office and writing lots of emails. I never really thought about it, my first instinct was to just reply above the quote like I would in an email.
