Many people have requested:
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TOP-POSTING.
This means "please stop writing your reply at the top
of the message".
On a mailing list, it is polite to trim replies for context,
just keep the essential information like I have done above,
so that it is like a conversation, and reply underneath.
This is named "interleaved style".
