Hi,
Personally I prefer top posts for short responses to a
simple issue and in-
between posts for everything more complex.
And then, when some people will top post, som bottom post and some will
answer inside the original email lines, then there will be a totall mess
and most people will
I don't agree.
Yes.
Perhaps.
Now, it's your work to know to what part of your original mail I'm answering.
But, when you reply, the parts not relevant in the conversation should be
erased.

top posting is just lazy.
bottom posting, equally so.
one should be replying in-line, with context, and removing extraneous content.

My real gripe is with laziness, not bottom posting. Anyone who can't spend a
minute to edit quoted material to the relevant part is forcing thousands of
readers to wade through irrelevant crap. It's inconsiderate.

Regarding top posting versus bottom posting, pretty almost everyone who has
commented agrees that top versus bottom posting isn't the problem. It's
laziness about editing, perhaps exacerbated by certain email systems that
encourage that laziness.
So how about this: instead of demanding PLEASE
