To be complete: top-posting (putting comments ABOVE the previous
messages) is usually really a big nono in the mailing list
fields. You should put follow-up comments BELOW the original
mail. Personally, It doesn't bother me too much, but on plenty of
mailing lists people go absolutely nuts over that fact , more true
on long email exchanges, as you need to read a long reply from
bottom to top in order to follow the conversation. Of course
many clients let you sort using the subject field.
Please inform Google about this, as with "Reply", it "hides" the
original message behind 3 dots at the bottom of the mail. :-/ :-)
It looks like you're doing fine on this message though :)
It's probably because when replying to 'regular' emails (since a mailing
list isn't USENET) the consensus is to top-post. I do this too with
daily mail exchanges.
But it's good that you mention this fact, so we understand better where
habits like this comes from. I'm not a gmail user, although I have a
gmail account, it's a spambox for me :)
