I'm new to this group (about a week). In other groups I follow, I've
seen people complain about posting the reply at the bottom. Their reason
was that when they read through a batch of posts in a thread, they don't
want to have to wade through the original post every time. They say post
at the top and anyone can look down to see what it was about if they
don't already know. I do it either way depending on the situation and my
mood.

Its true though. You do not read a page from bottom to top in English..
The ONLY time when I top post is when replying to a short email to a
single friend where both the quoted ref and my reply are on the same
area of screen and likly to be when they read it too. But email and
USENET are 2 different things..
