Surely not. Bottom-posting is, if anything, worse than top-posting. With 
top-posting at least you get to see the reply[1] at the top of 
the post, and can delete it and move on with your life. With bottom- 
posting you have to scroll past seven pages of quoted text before you 
get to see their reply.

Perhaps you mean interleaved or inline posting, as I've done here?





[1] Often one line. On technical lists, that's often "Works for me." On 
non-technical lists, "Me too!".
