Default I like the bottom posting format: was FAQ's....

You may not mind which way it is done, but I'm sure you would prefer

it to
be consistant - either all top or all bottom - otherwise everything

gets
messed up.

Since the convention in this newsgroup is to bottom post,


Not quite. The convention is in-line posting, with each response
placed immediately below the remark being responded to.


I think that's what I and many other refer to as bottom posting! Not
'bottom of the whole post' but 'bottom of the bit you're responding to'.
Illogical terminology maybe, but it's what people who say they bottom
post do in practice.
