Sorry, I cannot agree!
This is the only one of 8 lists I follow where the standard appears to be
posting below the original message. It may be true of DOS applications but
usually Windows e-mail applications default to replies and forwards
beginning on the top.
Thanks

Hello Bonnie:
This seems like a reasonable request to me if most people who
use speech are in agreement that top-posting is easier to deal
with. It is certainly no more difficult for one to do
top-posting instead of bottom posting. Bottom-posting is the
way that most people on mailing lists and newsgroups do it. BTW,
I have seen many newsgroup posts which criticise people for
top-posting. The people posting such complaints say that
top-posting violates some kind of accepted standard or norm. I
don't know where they ever got the idea that bottom posting is a
"standard" that everybody should conform to. I have observed
that bottom posting is the method used by most people. For that
reason I usually do bottom posting. For reasons of courtesy, on
this list I will henceforth do top-posting if most of the people
who use speech are in agreement that we should do it that way.
Regards to all,
Sam Heywood
P.S. BTW, have I placed my closing and my signature and my P.S.
in the right places for this top-posted message?
