Oh, this comes up again and again ..*sigh*.
It's simply generally agreed that top-posting is illogical..like reading
a book backwards, and because most people using mailing-lists adhere to
bottom posting, or interpolate their comments with the post being
replied to. You may well find people will simply delete mail that has
top-posts. This is especially true on threads that cover complex issues,
and may draw a lot of response. You will get moaned at, and maybe
ignored by people who may be the very ones who could help you with the
problem. Remember that people are often on several lists, and if they
find something hard to understand they will be tempted to ignore it.

Please, not another discussion on this folks...

There is a guide for all of this "netiquette", but the URL escapes me.
