I don't have particularly strong thoughts on the matter, but
bottom-posting seems somewhat logical to my (likely) skewed way of
thinking, as anyone who reads the post from top to bottom will first
read the post to which I'm replying, thus giving some context to my
response. As long as I delete previous posts, or if the initial post
is lengthy, snip judiciously, not much scrolling will be required, and
possibly (just possibly) my posts will make more sense.
I agree with Frank. It seems more logical to me, too. There are
occasions on which I want my comment to be read before the matter I'm
commenting on, at which times I top-post. Other times, there's a lot of
stuff I want to make various comments about, so then I put the comments
in-line. To me, posting the way one wants the whole package to be read
is the natural way to do this. (I didn't know that computers EXISTED in
1972. I mean, in 1972, I didn't know that computers existed.)
