I switch it around on rare occasions and do as you said here.

However, for the most part I usually let the quote go afterward of anything
I say unless it seems I need to splice into the previous message someplace
in the middle.
I just like seeing the next reply first because I tend to read almost everything
and so then I tend to recognize the quoted part anyway.
Although this isn't going to work out as well for forgotten posts I can still just
reread whatever was quoted after getting the idea of the follow-up.
Of course it must be such a personal preference I can't see anyone adhering
to a certain "netiquette" rule regarding this, which I think I've seen remarked
by others before too.
