Re: OT: Speaking of "top posting"
I come from the BBS days and top posting was the way to go. I think the
'old timers' you are talking about were really just internet 'newbies'
that jumped on the band wagon so they missed the pre internet days and
made up their own way.
I think that is one reason there are two schools for the 'proper' way to
do it.
Even take the commercial newsreaders like Netscape, they default to
proper top posting, you have to muck around with settings to bottom
post.

Re: OT: Speaking of "top posting"
The "proper" method is to do as the Regulars in that group do. Here in
RAMJ+W the norm is to top-post. In other groups norm is to trim and
bottom post. Rightly or wrongly both camps see it as a sign of respect
for their respective groups, that you haven't just barged in off the
street and demanded to know where the beer is.
