Well, stick to bottom posting then. Point solved. ;-)

No, it has been introduced by MS lookout, ehhh outlook. Because the
majority is to lazy to reply to an email in the correct way, should
everybody do this? Furthermore, top-posting creates the opportunity to
send emails as is, without deleting unnecessary text. And thus, wastes
bandwidth (which is still limited...)

OT: If spam would be eliminated, bandwidth wouldn't be such an issue
anymore (for a while).
