Re: [LegacyUG] Bottom posting
I agree about preferring a top post.

Re: [LegacyUG] Bottom posting
I detest bottom posting even though I'm told it is the proper thing to do by many. I guess people will post as they see fit so I just ignore the issue (but I sometimes just skip the bottom posts for lack of time).
