Groan. Not this again. There are very good reasons for NOT top-posting, to do with the way humans process information, as well as having the courtesy to not append enormous amounts of cognitive junk to your postings. I recognise that many mail clients and platforms almost force people to top-post, which is why I don't usually make too much of a fuss. However, it continues to be a rule of the list. Your breaking the rule is being overlooked due to the fact that your mail client is poorly designed, but that doesn't make it a virtue.
