What you're actually saying is you find them easier to digest with both top AND bottom posting, because the majority of the list bottom posts as according to the rules, and you flaunt it deliberately for some reason. You're asking people on the list to not make assumptions about your applications and your 'need' for threading, and then blatantly ignore the rules on posting assuming that because you find a mix of top and bottom posting 'easier' to read, then so too will others. I'm not suddenly bringing this into focus now because you've asked people not to 'butt in' but because of the rude way you responded to Per Jessen about top-posting. I'm just asking that please, for the sake of clarity and readability, you bottom post to the list. If everyone does the same thing, it makes it a lot easier.
