Mike, I hear ya man. Most people top post so I really don't make a big deal
outta it. Bottom posting really can be better if done right, though. If
you are board, check out the following websites:

That's a subject that borders on a religion, with all that goes with it.
I personally prefer posting styles that include bottom posting and
trimming quoted material, with comments interleaved between points -- one
advantage to that style is that the poster has to do some work so the
reader doesn't have to, top-posting just means that nobody has to work,
especially if your reader software dumps the cursor at the top of the
page. But that's just me, and here the majority seem to like top-posting
without interleaving responses.
When I'm in Rome, I type with a Romish accent, unless I'm talking to
another damned furriner.
If the post I'm replying to is top-posted, I'll do the same. If I'm
posting here and I've got a lot of comments that are best read with the
material I'm responding to, I'll put a "Bottom posted with replies
inserted into original text" note at the top, trim out the dead wood to
make it easy on the reader and post away.
But that's just me.

Yes, I had the English Timex Simclair in '82, then our Commodore
64, but they couldn't network. That came in '85 for me with this IBM PC
clone, Kay Pro 4 MHz and 300 baud modem:
http://www.----------.com/KayPro.jpg and a program like ProComm:
http://www.----------.com/procomm.htm to call our friends down the
block.
