Ok, i top post, just for you, :)
Imagine someone who wasn't following the thread need to do to pick up this thread:
1. Scroll all the way to the bottom, read Ted's message.
2. Scroll a bit upwards, to read you message
3. Then scroll all the way to the top, to read mine.
I can hardly say it is *logical* to read a thread backwards. Another example: try to name one forum/BBS system that displays the newest reply on the top when viewing a thread.

BTW, how did you like my HTML? I bet you enjoyed it.
You just don't understand that most people dislike top-posting and HTML messages for a reason. You've got every right to use whatever you wish in your personal mails, but this is a public list, try to be considerate mate.

It gets confusing when some top post and

There are 3 kinds of people in the world:
Those who can count, and those who can't.
Money can't buy everything.
Sometimes money can't even buy a gun...
