This might be confusing when one is reading a thread.
 
Where do you usually write when you quote a prior post?

Are you an above quoter or a below quoter?
 
 
Also, which is more correct?

Above quoter here. So you dont have to scroll down the post to see what someone's saying about another post. Although i do "below quoting" as well (its not bellow as thats shouting i think) because sometimes you have to read the quote before you can understand the quoter

It's contextual. Sometimes I go on top.

I think it depends on the type of statement. Sometimes I bellow. :wink:

below seems like the way to go when one is replying. i actually find weird that some people quote and post above.

I prefer below because it allows one to see what you are referring to before reading your response.

Same... Especially when you're agreeing with someone, it's helpful to know what that other person said first...

I only bellow when they can't hear me.
 
As far as quoting, I like to have my quote, then my response under it, since, logically, it makes it easier and faster for the reader to see to whom I am replying.

Below, definitely. It just makes more sense.
