Hi Colin. I asked about this before in this list. There are no preferences in this list, so that is where the list stands.
As for top posting, that is an old school habit. Top posting is indeed effective for many people. This message can be clear with historical references down below. It isn't imperative as the text I am adding to this thread, which you are reading now. So, it is secondary to my reply. It IS included below, but it isn't necessary as this message is directed towards yourself. You know what you put before, and it's in your head. If your theory was correct, then every message would have to be quoted in every post. If not, then your email application should have some way of organizing individual messages in order for you to follow the long presentation. A problem with quoting and inserting intermixed is that it gets ugly. A problem with bottom posting is the need to scroll every message that comes into view. My point is that people have different preferences, and the bottom posting preference only belongs to some. Please don't expect everybody to follow your preference. It is not carved in stone, and can be managed in the preferences of most major email applications for that reason.
