Re: Top Posting
I generally prefer top posting myself as I am used to it in my e-mail
program. It also has the benefit of putting "new" information at the top of the message replies. What bothers me is when people don't quote back any part of the message, With my deteriorating mental abilities if is sometimes difficult to remember previous posts.
