Most people quote they way I just did. The space in between the top of the text box and the quote where people sometimes type nowadays is a glitch caused by a site update.

Hi there! be sure to click that homepage link!

It doesn't work effectively, the quoted conversation is supposed to come on the top, for it makes legit chronological order.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I prefer the quote to be below my text.

Haha hypersensitivity.

OT: I don't care about quotes. So long as I can read it, I don't care how people organize their replies.

I never understood why this, or what I'm told is an auto extra space or something after quotes gets on so many people's nerves. Being you're all individuals with your own personal sovereignty, you can get upset about whatever you want. I just don't understand why you'd care about something that's so intensely trivial.

I guess it must be a difference in how I as opposed to other people look at things like this. I read a reply and try to understand what was being said. I don't care about form, but instead focus on function. I'd suppose the people who are annoyed by this are more concerned with form. Fair enough, but don't be surprised if I chuckle to myself at your expense.

Posting above the quote lets you see your post easier in your search history.
stupid reason.

Quoting above is the most logical thing to do and the so-called "pros" to quoting below are laughable besides "it's easier" (which is just pathetic).

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Okay

I think sometimes people write their response to something but forget to quote it, then quickly hit quote after they're done rather than rearrange their text.

Exactly. If you quote people the other way it's like walking in on a conversation at it's end. Show people what you're talking about before you talk about it. Which makes more sense.

Tacos.
Bill: What should we have for dinner?

or
Bill: What should we have for dinner?
Tacos

Second one, right? You put the question, before the answer!

I just don't understand why you'd care about something that's so intensely trivial.

Because it takes up time. One of the webteam years ago said something along the lines of... 'if a user hovers over the bar and nothing happens for over .5 seconds, they'll think nothing will happen and get frustrated.' It's a matter of time. When someone puts their text first, they're making us read it out of context. Then we either have to skip to the quote first, if we realize what is going on fast enough, or reread the text in order to read it in context. It's an annoyance. It takes up time, however minimal. And I see no good reason to do it text first. You can see the text in your post history? Um... whoopie? I said good reason.

A big deal? Not in the slightest. But a minor annoyance due to how we have to waste our time (again, the amount doesn't matter)? Meh.

I don't even notice when people quote after typing their post.

I agree. While the issue certainly isn't a major one, it is irritating, as it does waste time. A large number of people's good reason to post above a quote appears to be that they find it easier to do, but, overall, I can't see that benefiting the member. They still waste time rereading their posts, assuming they do so, as well as when reading other like-minded members' posts.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

We read top to bottom, so it is very annoying in multiple quotes or long quotes.
