It seems to me that folks ought to post the way they want and there need be
no police or mothers telling any of us how to do it. There are different
ideas. Who among us feels such a need to tell others how to post (or
otherwise live our lives)? If the posts of others cause such distress, I
respectfully suggest a distressed one get a life, get some dogs to walk or
start his own mail list. If one finds the status quo a pita, he might
unsubscribe altogether and take up knitting.

Ah, I wondered if the "top vs bottom" issue would arise in this thread!
I'm with JHR, strongly preferring "top posting." (The combination of
"quoting everything" and "bottom posting" results, too often, in having
to scroll through a hundred lines of stuff only to find the new post
consists of "Right on!" or something.)
I prefer bottom posting when the responder quotes just what's
pertinent to establish the context of the reply and snips the rest.
Otherwise, it's a pita.
Top posting above the entire copied thread is equally a pita.
