This mailing list has no "official" way of posting. As far as I'm
concerned, if someone wants to take the time to comment on an email, and
hopefully offer help, they can post any way they like. top,bottom,inline,
whatever. We're all smart enough to figure out the thread.
Personally, I prefer the top-most thing to be the answer, unless there's
several questions, then I prefer to post my answers inline just below each
question.
My attitude on top vs bottom vs inline posting is certainly going to draw
some criticism but that's Ok. I'd still prefer the content to be the most
important thing, not the style.
