That's what it seemed to me that J.B. was expressing... that the entire
message thread would be repeated in each response.
However, "blindly quoting the entire message" is the default with many
email tools (other than the few that scrub everything but the text
immediately below the respondee's signature). Click *Reply* and that's
what you get... and that would be the same whether you top-post or
bottom-post. I try to be very conscious of it and trim whatever's not
necessary but I sometimes forget as well.
I'll leave the discussion now... I've seen these top-post/bottom-post
flame wars in the past. It's just like the toilet paper top/bottom
argument. There is no *right way* to do it. It's all a matter of
preference with good arguments on both sides.
Best Regards,
Mike

Not ONE 'bottom poster' (inline is more correct term) would EVER suggest
doing that, but I do know more than one top-poster who refuses to
acknowledge this, and submits the same tired INVALID argument as a
reason to support their laziness.
