It *is* a matter of preference, as are good manners. Top posting puts the burden of putting the poster's reply in context and logical order on the readers; as such it is selfish behavior. Selfish behavior was once considered poor manners, even rude. If you choose to fart in a crowded elevator, expect some of your fellow travelers to tell you that you stink. -- David Ellement
