What really annoys me about bottom posting is that many perpetrators NEVER
trim the post. I agree that keeping at least the previous answer when you
reply is necessary, but sometimes replies are so far down the page I just
refuse to scroll down to read the answer.

Top posting a simple answer to a simple question seems to work really well
in here where most users top post.

The bottom line is, who really cares? Except maybe those
who chastise others for top posting ;-)


Top posting is a heinous crime, for which you should be
flogged around the fleet.


On some sites. But here the concensus seems to be that it doesn't matter.
I bottom post unless there is already a top post; then I top post to keep
it all aligned.
It's a silly thing for anyone to argue about or even debate, actually.
Netiquette & most gurus believe in the trim & inline, then bottom if no
inline. Personally I couldn't care which. I stay out of trouble by simply
using what the concensus is. Oh, and ignoring dummies who troll to make an
arguement out of it.

I agree - who really cares?
