seriously guys, i understand what jay is saying & trying to get at (& by the way, jay, saturday morning when i pick you up, i'm going to smack you for all of this), but if we are all participating in a conversation/ email-thread, then we are, very likely, going to be pretty on top of what is going on. therefore, unless you are wanting the entire world to follow the discussion (i.e. a website/forum), top-posting is by far the most efficient. so i suggest, for email conversations, we simply use top-posting.

Scrolling/paging through the entire thread to get to the new message each time is a pain. It makes sense to me to read the reply first, referring to the previous messages below it if I need some context.

If I had to scroll to the bottom every time just to see the reply, I'd stab myself in the face with a soldering iron. If you can't remember what happened in your e-mail conversation, I'd rather have to scroll down to figure that out than to just get the new stuff.
