Heh, just read your email as an example. My statement is last, on this page and your reply is top-posted to it. To a casual reader, who google searched and found this, he'd find reply first, question second. Not an easy read for posterity, when researching a technical problem and finding a pile of top-posting. Imagine Dear Abby written like that. Answer first, and question second? Abby: "Smash him with a broom!"
