Personally I don't care really whether you top post or bottom post and
i'll not judge you... I just prefer to see your answer on the top, that
way if I have to go over the entire conversation, I can scroll down and
piece it back together...

I can see now. I was so wrong. I need help. I will go to seek help tomorrow.

When it is 1 on 1 communication there is no need for it to be bottom posted.

A. This is the answer.

It's pretty simple to see
Email and legality are two different things. There is no legal or
illegal way of posting, so I don't think your example of people
driving over the speed limit has any bearing on this topic. We aren't
talking about something being legal or illegal, but just things that
are social norms or acceptab

OK. Y'all straighten up. One of the other posters was right. A thousand
years from now people will be reading the meanderings of NLUG before it

If anyone gives you grief for top posting, just let them know the voices in

Since most of us have 'threading' email readers, why keep the 'old
posts' in your email at all unless you are going to reference quotes
in them?
It is just another waste of bandwidth as is 'Rich formatting' or

I have been criticized by an e-mail correspondent for bottom posting.
In searching "netiquette", I found that even the same web site can give
conflicting information.
