This point has merit when it is a personal conversation between two people. Although I still bottom reply in those cases (or inline reply as you would say), I can see why top replying is not so bad. However, for mailing lists where there are many readers, a number of whom have not been actively following the thread, bottom posting is annoying. Also I save some message from this group as reference to be read much later if I encounter a similar problem. Then bottom-posting is considerably better. thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
