I realize I am in the minority but I agree. See remark at bottom also.

If you bottom post and the screen is full, no one will see your post
unless they scroll to the bottom. If they have already read the previous
posts in the thread, they don't need to read them again. They will just
want to see the most recent response. By having the most recent at the
top, no scrolling is needed, and the threads can be scanned faster.

I do not like top-posting.
Hi Pat,
I'm a newsgroup moderator here, so I'll explain it. Top-posting is when
you put your reply above the quoted text, rather than below.
Rest assured, top-posting vs bottom-posting is *not policed* in here.
Message content is much more important than message format. So long as
your messages are polite, respectful, helpful, and on topic, it doesn't
matter if it is top-posted, if nothing is trimmed, or if it's in HTML.
Requests about format just take focus away from the reason why we're all
here: to help each other use SeaMonkey. :)
I realize I am in the minority but I agree. See remark at top also.
