Wrong
So often many here bottom post without snipping and I can't see the new
parts. Most of the time I just delete them without looking at the new
content. So bottom posting does not make people snip and in my opinion makes
it no easier or harder to read. I have even seen posts here where the
content has been cut by the mail system where bottom feeders, er posters
have left all the debris. I top post, always have, and I still snip.
I do agree that sometimes inline is a good idea where there are multiple
parts to be addressed.

        Besides making things hard to read, it encourages people to not trim
their replies. Observe any thread dominated by top posters, and you'll see
reams and reams of useless quoted garbage below any actual useful content.

        The ideal method of replying is inline comments, with trimming off
all the non-relevant quoted text. That way you have sufficient context to
understand what the writer is responding to, and are also able to read it in
a much more conversational style.
