Wow! this is the longer signature I ever seen and it's quite unpleasant to need to scorll down in order to read the message.

Sorry, Dean and Frank, I am not making any compliant. I am here to learn the best web practise from many of you guys and I see that some of the members condemn top posting; I think bottom posting (is this how it's called?) is equally bad when one needs to scroll all the way down to read a few line of message. I think this is one of the accessible issue perhaps not many people pay attention to. One of my client is semi-paralyze and doesn't make use of assistive software because, according to her, it's too expensive and too much learning curve. One time she made a comment to me that I should write my message in the top so that she doesn't need to scroll all the way down ( I always trim my post when I response). I was in her office recently and witnessed how she uses computer, it was unimaginable inconvenient and uncomfortable for me to watch. She has mobile problem on her hands too. I watched her literally spending some 3 or 4 minutes to scroll all the way down in order to read an email.
