posting style

[John Mettraux]

Hey guys,

I'm a programmer, I prefer to program than to respond to emails.

It helps me when you guys use bottom posting and especially inline posting. (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style)

I know some of you will object that their email clients don't lend themselves
to inline posting easily, but then consider how much time you polished your
"tmux/vim/texmate/whatever work flow". Your email routine is part of that.

```
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?
```

Look at the GitHub issue trackers, comments are ordered newest last and
previous comments are not carried over.

I'm not requiring it from you guys, there will always be new people coming
and top posting / not trimming, I don't want to police them. I prefer to show
an example I consider good, hoping some people will pick it up (as I picked
it up a long while ago).


Thanks in advance, no obligations,
