Hate to get in the flamewar, but I was corresponding with a lady on a
social site, and she said my bottom-posting drove her crazy! I didn't
even think about it, I'd been so well trained... :-)

a majority of the lists I am on (about 100 in all) tend to top post or
trim and respond to each point. granted, a lot of these lists are
blind related, but some also deal with ham radio and various other
topics of interest. I never said it was evil, just extremely frustrating.
btw, see how my posts are trimmed to get rid of all but the last post?
this has at least 2 advantages:
1. message length is short
2. the salient point I am responding to is preserved.

Not everyone? Let's say MOST. I've been on 70+ listservs for over a
decade and bottom-posters are extremely rare at best. If everyone
else is posting a certain way consistently, why suddenly say they're
wrong and demand posting the opposite way? I mean, what is right and
wrong with the difference between top and bottom posting as if one is
evil and the other good? In this case, majority rules. Trying to make
people do something different on one list than on all the other lists
is just ridiculous and disingenuous.
Be well,
