I agree. But on the end I said "bottom posting requires a bit bigger effort to writer - but it is not that big deal if it makes anyone else happy...". So just to respect people "who (probably) read their email with pine." - I do bottom post. Who use todays tools - to them there is no difference in reading... Just measuring those two facts made bottom post winner to me... It is funny - i have read many times in the (just) pg lists said to someone else "please don't top posting" (with link to article with explanations). I havent understood, but it was not related to topic so i made conclusion it is not relevant and i never clicked to read article about it... Then i got private message... When i have been asked to don't top posting, i wondered (and made research): -what does it mean!? (Then read article about it) (-i haven't understood article on first reading... Simply how i read messages in lists - doesnt match article story) -how anyone noticed it !? -then asked myself "how it is possible that just me breaks that strange rule"!? And started research - concluded: well known pg names - follow the rule - 70% not that well known names (to me) - no - so I was happy I am not the only one :) -then asked for tools -then tried the one - and realised problems...(and understood article in that moment)
