Yes - bottom posting takes a bit of work.  But on a high volume
mailing list or if you receive a lot of mail, a little bit of context
goes a LONG way.

And while we're talking about it - Trim your messages, too!

Only leave the relevant portion of the original email in the message -
so that means trimming the list-footer off the message.

Again - it takes a bit of work, but it really makes reading mailing
lists a LOT easier.

Try it for a bit - once you do, you'll realize how much better it is.
