Bottom posting makes no sense to me. This is the only list I am on these
days but this is also the only place where anyone bottom posts.
In almost all email correspondence I get (and have received for far too
long to remember) the replies are top posted.
Anyway I understand that we all have our pet hates / raves / loves /
issues so while some on this list love bottom posting I personally hate
it. (I could explain my reasons but I suspect in the end that logic has
little to do with it.)
We may primarily read left to right. Others read right to left. Ok some
like to bottom post. Others don't.
There are better things in life to get worked up about and I have
learned to live with some people bottom posting on this list.

Q: But if I already know what the question was, why force me to read
it again? I'd rather see the answer.
Finally, an intelegent argument _for_ top posting!
But end posting is *_real_* tedious if it is a nested post that has
not been trimmed appropriately. Personally I prefer top posting if the
question is very short but the question was long or if it is fairly
clear by the way the answer is structured what the question was, i.e.,
"The way you set the Beelzebub parameter is by X > Y > (select option)."
If it is multi-part then I prefer a _very_ short intro and the rest
in-line where the reply is in context.
It is a royal pain to scroll through 100+ lines to find a two or three
word response. What a waste of bits and time.
