There is. With top posting, it may be, and often is, hard to understand what patricular part of previous message(s) author is answering to. Because of that: - reading and understanding discussion becomes much harder, - when author formats message such that his reply is just below the text he replies to, he will likely see and re-read it while typing, and really reply to it, not to something else that his oppoinent never wrote. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
