Hehe, I have a mail client that keeps messages within a single thread logically grouped together, and also effectively hides extraneous, multi-nested, quoted past messages, so top posting doesn't bother me. But if we need to keep the thread history preserved accurately in each revision of each reply for the sake of those using old or simple technology :-) then top posting is probably not such a good idea. Maybe we should develop an email version of git so we can check in each new revision of every thread to so as to maintain proper conversation order, and then we can revert and reorder the message if someone in the middle forgets and top posts?
Sprinkled liberally with smiley's ... aka, these things: :-) :-) :-) Curt.
