That isn't the way it is meant to be. Bottom-posting (As you describe)
is even worse than top-posting (which I despise).
My preference is for inline-posting, as I am doing here, and as I also
do (with much effort) on the forums.

What I dislike about the forum is that it takes real effort to ensure
I have read everything. With a mailing list I know that when my
mailbox is empty then I have read everything. (and i just came back
from a week skiing to 290 _topics_ to wade through, which is possibly
2000 emails)

I dislike the forum, but it is the first port-of-call for most new
users with problems.
