TE:
The debate about top and bottom posting is a semi-annual event here. The 
worst, though, are people who alternate top and bottom posting in the same

FWIW, I've noticed that bottom posters do a better job of deleting the 
extraneous crap such as ads for the Store and Yahoo, and overly-long 
signatures.
