This is actually a very cool response. Thanks, will!  I had googled this and 
found only belligerant and snide remarks about how bottom posting is "better" 
blah, blah, blah...

Unfornately, it is the case that some huge number of corporate email systems 
use top posting as the default. In addition, some number of home email 
systems also top post by default. 

I even tried settting Outlook to bottom post (yes you can configure Outlook to 
bottom post) but got frustrated at everyone else's unwillingness to comply.
