While you may dislike it, it is customary here.
Which is a strong indicator that the majority of active users prefer the
reply to be below the quote.

Actually, the preferred format seems to be to interweave quotes and

they refer to.

Also, long quotes are customarily trimmed down to the important portions
where applicable.
