The top- vs. bottom-posting 'debate' is right up there with the debates of
the Small-endians vs. the Big-endians and MIF vs. TIF. Only muich, much
less genteel ;-)

Of all the pointless USENET discussion (and flamewar) topics over the

this topic holds the USENET cumulative lifetime Longest Thread record but
it's probably in the Top Ten.
