Agreed. There is another group that always top posts. They also never trim but it does not matter as much. These are the "just one line" mobile phone/Blackberry people for whom messaging (not just email) is simply "Meet me at Harry's in one hour." for whom most responses are "OK," "No," or a longwinded "At Harrys?" They occasionally visit conventional email groups and the habits persist. I prefer interleved post on long messages, top post for short ones, but try to almost always use the same style with a particular group of people. "When in Rome ..."
