Peter,
Afraid your going to lose on this one. I think Topposting is more logical and because
I read a lot of emails anews post its a time saver to me to see the reply first at
next thread. USENET Rules since back in the 60's and UNiX Days have an absolutely
strict rule about here the signature is supposed to show and even the requirement of
the sigdash separator so that servers can chop it off to save space.
USENET does allow for top posting although the frown on the practice. They don't ban
it.
But where the signatture lies is set in stone. Moving it would be akin to
assassinating some king or queen.
