Hi All,
It would be preferable to have a consistent approach to posting; those who have a Linux/Unix background prefer bottom posting because it reads better, but Windows decided to establish top posting and because of its dominance of the early PC market Windows users just accepted it. I have trimmed the thread because Patrick's remarks were worth demonstrating.  Most email clients apart from "Lookout" will provide a setting for bottom posting, it could be set up in the user's computer for this list, and do what you like for the rest. Perhaps some encouragement of top posting could be written into the place where subscriptions to the list are found.
