IFF people were to be considerate and delete/trim/remove all of the
irrelevant parts of the quoted material, then the placement of the reply
would not matter. We are arguing

I have no desire to 'get with the times' -- this is classiccmp after all.
If your mail program doesn't let you scroll to the end of a message and
start typing then it is fundametnally broken. It may not be convenient,

Top posting isn't bad if the poster edits his top posts so that only a line or
two is quoted. If I see an entire message in a top post I junk that message
