Yet everyone here extols the virtues of bottom posting. Your supposed to
post especially in emails to what the receiver is accustomed to. Not
your ridged guidelines as what is prim & proper.
You've missed the point entirely if you think this is about "my rigid
guidelines as to what is prim and proper." Read again my last paragraph:
I wasn't necessarily you. I was referring to this newsgroup.
It bleeping blew me away. *I thought I was doing him a favor* by
putting each answer with the corresponding question.
If you get a message from a person either personal or business and they
bottom post, post bottom post. If you get said message and they put
replies to you at top, then they demand top post. You grit your teeth
and Top post. Better to use their method and gain their business, rather
than go by some silly posting guideline and lose a $20,000 job. Your
person just has the chutzpa to speak up and say how they want things. I
am sure there are others out the.

And then the recipient, following the same principle, should reply to me
in my system (bottom posting), creating an incomprehensible hodge-podge
when I top-post for his benefit in reply.
He does so because that he assumes that how you want things. So he
expect replies at the top for him to read and you expect things at the
bottom so you can read. You and him need to settle on one or the other.
Even though you hate it both should top post. Its more logical to him.
