I'm with Thomas. I think that, while inline posting is a good thing,
bottom posting is dead stupid and wastes my time. It is far easier to
follow a thread with top posting as the relevant text is right there at
the top ready to be read.

No, just not everyone agrees with your viewpoint on this topic. Top
posting has it's place and some of us prefer it. Obviously I'm not doing
it but it's only because of the large amount of anal retentive people on
lists like this. And so... with that my view is out there. I hate bottom
posting. But I for one will do it to keep the peace.
