This email thread has some seriously 
long messages in it, e.g. one is 243 
lines long (i.e. 11K of plain text for 
something which could have been the size 
of a Post-It note), and people do not 
agree if top posting or bottom posting 
is, also this mime element gets attached 
by GNU Mailman to each message

The result is a bit hard to read.

Most email clients support threading 
these days.

Personally, like H 
<age...@meddatainc.com> here, I'm a 
bottom-posting-kind-of-guy, of course.

For those who care at all, here are some 
useful arguments:
