Dear Prubhtej Singh,

I really appreciate your interest for this project.  On the other hand,
since a few weeks you do not follow the conventions on this mailing-list:

Please keep the mailing list in the CC, so others may benefit from our
conversation as well and answer at the bottom of the email
(bottom-posting [1]) to facilitate our conversation.

Manually fixing the order (like in this email) is tedious, unnecessary
work for me.  I'll not answer your next email you post on top or leave
out the CC ;-)

Kai
