+ SUBTITLE(Do Not Top-Post)
+<p>
+ If you reply to a message, don't use top-posting. Top-posting is
+ when you write the new text at the top of a mail and you insert
+ the previous quoted mail conversation below.
+<p>
+ This is why top posting is so bad:
+<pre>
+ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read
+    text.
+ Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
+ A: Top-posting.
+ Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
+</pre>
+<p>
+  Apart from the screwed up read order (especially when mixed together in a
+  thread when some responds doing the mandaded bottom-posting style), it also
+  makes it impossible to quote only parts of the original mail.
