Because the issue of top vs. bottom posting can provoke heated discussion, I
started to post something yesterday and then thought better of it. But I
also prefer top-posting for the reasons Graham mentioned. Yes, it is
illogical and does make reading more difficult for people who come to the
thread late, but for those who are following it actively, it is far more
efficient.
Not only do I hate to scroll to the bottom of a long thread only to read
"Thanks!" but occasionally I scroll to the bottom and don't seem to find any
new content; this illusion is caused by the fact that the poster added his
message within the area of quoted material (blank lines) set off by
characters, making it appear to be part of the previous message.

I hate not being able to edit your posts..... I meant the reverse of what I
just posted. I can happily top-post if that's acceptable...I just figured
that bottom-posting was netiquette...ok over and out.
