I get dozens of business e-mails a day and no one, no one in the business 
community bottom-posts. If find it to be a quaint listserve oddity. So flame me.

Bottom-posting is placing your reply at the bottom of the message, as I did 
here. Top-posting is placing your reply at the top of the message, as you did 
with yours.

There is a standard that declares bottom-posting to be correct, and top-posting 
to be incorrect. Personally, I hate bottom-posting, but the majority here seem 
to be in favor of it, so I comply. I don't bottom-post except on listservs.
