Because I felt it was relevant for background on what was being discussed; 
which, if you had paid attention, was top vs bottom posting and not snipping 
techniques.

It's 'pertinence', besides topical, is it shows how top posting gets things 
stuck down here at the end of a message and your 'having' to read 'all the way 
down' demonstrates that the top poster's argument of how top posting prevents 
this very thing is incorrect.

I sure hope it didn't hurt your scroll finger, or strain your brain cells, to 
read the 'whole thing'.
