We deal with the wonderfulness of RTs system of quoting an entire message so that you can 'bottom-post', however have you ever tried to scroll through 400 lines of quoting to write a message?

If the sig was placed at the top of the message then the message will still be qouted but only up to where the last sig starts, which is fine as if no modifications have been made to the message the older quoting will be removed from the post when the user hits reply.
