I really find this topic interesting. To use your analogy, when I read a
book, after I read 20 pages, I put in a bookmark, and start from there. I
don't re-read the previous pages. Bottom posting, I think, helps if you're
not following the thread. If you are, you have to scroll through a bunch of
stuff you already read to find the new reply. Seems a waste. And if you
are new to the thread, is it not your responsibility to catch up? Or at
least to ask for a catch up? So everybody understands, I am not just trying
to bust chops. I write a fair amount of documentation and classes for
computers and scuba diving. The computer classes and documentation are both
for business and high school, and I am always interested in how people
process information. Thanks.
