That's because the real sin is in quoting irrelevant text. The only reason to
quote text is to respond to it and then you would naturally respond after the
quote since the other way around makes no sense.
If anyone does make a FAQ make sure explain first *what* to quote.
And only having said that then say *how* to quote it.
