Please don't top post - (Re: Decouple fo from skinconf (was Re: svn
commit: r618400 ))
Can we please avoid the increasing tendency to top-post. It loses the
context of the email and makes it difficult to follow things in the
archives (which is often our documentation).

Sorry, I got it wrong.
I thought Ross referred to e-mails out of the thread

Hmm, you both doing it. ;)
Top post means (as I understand it) to add your answer to the top and
the rest of the mails follows as it. The last post of you both had first
thing your post, not as e.g. this answer where I "answer in context".
The problem is with top post is that if you give an answer one has to
search the context (rest of the mail) to understand what is going on.

I guess Ross was referring to me. Had to look up "top post"
to know that he was referring to excessive quoting.
And yes, I did. Was in a hurry and didn't clean up.
Sorry!
Add it to the sentence for merging my branch and temporarily
breaking trunk assuming lazy consensus.
