Or perhaps top posting should be described "the way most of the world
does it despite being constantly chivvied by old timers on the internet
that bottom posting is the only way." - that tells me something :)

Live and let live and get on with your life, be tollerant.

Actually, a far far greater sin is not trimming messages - I admit I
rarely read a bottom posted messages that scroll off the screen before
they get to the reply - wasted!  Actually, maybe bottom posters should
just do that, not bother reading top posts?

And I am bottom posting because thats the way it was already organised.
