I agree--top posting makes it much easier to see the new stuff right
off if you're following the thread. Plus it helps keep the
attributions straight as people reply. In bottom posting, it becomes
increasingly difficult to decipher who said what. Just make sure you
don't have an automatic sig added to the bottom of the whole post.

Example:
Top posting

I agree.

The irritating thing about NOT top posting is that this is supposed to be a
conversation. I know of no one in a conversation who repeats the people
who've just spoken ... that is idiotic.... to me at least.
I hit delete if the person has not had presence of mind
to edit the previous speakers..... even then Bottom Posting is an irritant -
I don't give a hoot what usenet says.
