I always top post, and it's how I hope to see replies.
I want the response at the top because it the most relevant
information for the thread... if I should need to get some background
or context I can see it in descending order and only read back as far
as I want.
Although I've seen the top/bottom posting argument before, there is
nothing I hate more than having to scroll to the bottom of a message
(or search a long thread) to read it (I often don't even bother).
Also, don't forget that the technology and usage has changed over the
years and most of us are simply reading the list in standard mail apps
or online, where a top posting is IMO easier to see. i.e. this is not
Usenet after all with special readers.
So, although I hear you, I very much doubt that your going to get me
to "bottom-post" and if you want to, then go ahead... but I reserve
the right not to bother scrolling through your threads to find the
content you want to convey. Nothing personal, I'm just lazy :)

Hi,
The story goes like this...
Once I was brave enough to take on linux-kernal programming and joined
a mailing list. My first post brought me a link which was not an
answer to
my question but an advice and today I feel we all need to look at it
http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
Every time I try to read an archived mail to solve my problem I have
to scroll the page up and down... Why don't we bottom-post to make our
mails more readable and future proof
HUMBLE REQUEST
