W.H.: Thanks for the ref -- which notes that other styles have advocates.
Many business users prefer top posting as it shows the action focus.
I understand your preference for bottom posting, but that requires
more reading to get to the focus.
Not everyone wants to re read all. But forum users can know to hit
control-end. I spend little time on forums/fora, and tend to forget.
"Interleaved style" can be effective if the client supports suitable tags,

"Why can't we force iron standards?" That's one reason so many hate
Microshaft.
Another is that their "logic" often is not logical or efficient.
