Top-posting, when I don't know the context, and bottom-posting with long
passages of quoted text are both the kind of messages which I usually
just skip in a microsecond. I read about 35 mailing lists or newsgroups
and my reading algorithm is something like this:
if message(current) != easy_to_parse
call show(message(next))
elseif message(current) != interesting
call show(message(next))
else
call read(message(current))
endif
