The issue of top, bottom or interspersed postings will exist for ever. I prefer top posting because I present and can read the bottom line immediately. The context advantage of bottom posting is good but to read the bottom line I have to take a couple of extra key strokes. The above example of interspersed posting speaks for itself. To be honest I do not bother reading most bottom posted messages
Telling someone not to bottom post without even a welcome or salutation is in itself rude.
