I think he was complaining about the excessive quoting, coupled with
the off-topic post, coupled with the annoyingly long signature.
Anyone of those would have slid by. Probably any two. But all three
tipped the balance.
While I agree with the sentiments of the 4 line 'content' of your
sig, your snedmail made it obvious that you don't understand that the
opposite of top-posting is not bottom-posting, which is nearly as bad.
The opposite of top-posting (top-posting is simply replying without
thinking) is trimming the quoted text to the minimum needed to
maintain the thread (see how I did that?), and then interspersing
your comments. When there is only one comment, it LOOKS like bottom
posting, but it is not.
