I dislike it that way, because if someone quotes the very long text of
someone else, it is a lot of scrolling until I see the new text finally.
For me, not the old text a second time is more important, but to get
right away to the new text. But i guess, that liking depends on how a
software displays the threads and postings.

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
replies, with the reply sections below the respective quoted sections
they refer to.

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

That says a lot about you.  You don't care how other people in the 
community interact; you don't listen; you don't observe.  Apparently, 
you only care how your posts appear to you.

We need to avoid getting personal.

The way I see the messages of others is often this way, that I have to
scroll down long source code parts or text, before I finally reach the
part, that's interesting for me (new text). If i have ideas or
suggestions, I usually go ahead and use them, in order to show others
the ways I prefer. That has nothing to do that I don't care for others,
or that I fail to become average or a part of the majority.

I am attaching a screenshot that shows, how the posts are displayed. I
do not want to allow the Auto-Open feature (in regards to e-mail
viruses), thus this integrated view. And that shows, why I prefer older
text to be where it is not in the way for my writing.

If the need to keep old text at the top is really so strong, I will
follow these rules. It is just the more uncomfortable solution for myself.
