I'll give top-posting one serious argument: I don't want to open many emails to get to each conversation. By top-posting, I have the entire thread in a single email. Even me, a bottom-feeder, has grown tired of scanning several messages in a thread, when the search is failing me. When everyone top posts, I only need scan a single message. On the other hand, I really, _really_ hate a long thread that's been entirely top-posted, because printing a hard copy means trimming the message, so I don't put a tree through the printer. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
