Many that proselytize top-posting do flip to the couple of pages of the last chapter. They're too lazy to provide context. They're too lazy to snip. They're too lazy to maintain the same order in the quoted posts as they use as their own posting style. They're not just ignorant. They choose to be lazy. The Microsoft-cosm is the entire realm of their computing and Usenet experience. To them, Unix is probably a one-horned white horse or a poor bloke missing his balls.

... I think it's definitely the Right Way To Go. Put the New Material at the TOP. Top- or bottom-posting is almost religious. Do you read your books backward, starting at the last page and continuing to the first? No, you need prior context to understand what comes after and that's what bottom posting gives. The biggest flaw in bottom posting is that people don't trim adequately to maintain a context yet keep the message size reasonable (unlike me wink). That's an even bigger flaw in top posting: no one ever trims anything. I install add-ins to both Outlook and my newsreader that reformat the default top posting into a bottom post. Even were I to not use these add-ins, I'd take the time to reformat manually to a bottom post. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
