Not both surely? :-)

Some news groups only contain top posted messages, others only bottom
posted messages. It's normal to do what most others do in the group.

Normal in this group is bottom posting because it's considered more logical.

I should have included that :-)

Certainly I've seen arguments in groups about top posting, never about
bottom posting!

Microsoft spit groups are all top posting.

Some urglers don't bother to answer top posts.

and quite correctly :-)
