I left this for others to answer, but noone referred to the
authoritative source ;)

Note that both the previous responses to your question have violated
etiquette by quoting the entirety of your original message, rather than
quoting only the portions which are being answered. In that way, they
provided excellent examples of top-posting and its evils, assuming you
already knew the definition.

so informative and partly because it's so funny.
