I like how you put the commentary before the quote. Never seen that or explicitly noticed that...

Can I ask what you think about doing it that way as opposed to in reverse, with the quote first and commentary second?

I'm not implying any default or correct standard, I'm wondering if I'm backwards aha

In the Usenet days this was known as "top-posting", was considered terrible etiquette, and would often lead to days long flame wars.

Can you think of any generic, like, rule of thumb that could inform that process for me in the future (above or below/before or after) You got me curious and self-conscious now aha

No. It was purely subjective and not subject to a lot of thought: it was easier to make it flow nicely when read that way.

Fair enough, I like putting quite first just because I can see and refer back to it if Imm referencing its content and theres a bunch of things I need to refer back to
