Who came up with the bottom postin rule anyway bet there's a pointless RFC there some where. IMO its a style thing and unless there is a huge amount of content relevant to the response in the previous body and a significant time differential top posting is much easier to work with. i.e. If I've read the previous post 2min / 2 hours ago I don't want to have to scroll through it again to see the new content its just pointless.
I orignally learned to quote in FidoNet many years ago (yes, it's still around), Ettiquite there required you to trim posts due to the fact that most of the mail was transported long distance over phone lines.
I've also found it's much easier if someone quotes only the part of the post they're responding to, that way if you don't know what the thread is about, you don't have to sift through an entire digest and a ton of >>>>>>>>>s. The extra 3 seconds it takes to trim a post can save others minutes.
Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
