I understand the logic of bottom posting, but the issue of mobile users and
Mail previews does make top posting useful.
Surely there is a terminological hiatus here, and to avoid ambiguity we
should be talking about
preposting, postposting and inposting (or, possibly, imposting).

However, a small boy who attends my English school told me the reason he
had not brought the letter
he was writing was because it was "in his grandmother" [this being a
literal translation of the
way Bulgarian's say "at Granny's house"]; needless to say I used that
wonderful opportunity to discuss
the topic of "bottom posting" and its effect on kids' grades.

When I was working at St Andrews there was a golf story going the rounds
(I mean, why not, at St Andrews ???):
3 American golfers and a wee Scots lad to carry their golf bags.
1. Boy hears a mobile phone ringing; chap starts talking to his hand:
other chap explains
he has a phone embedded in his hand.
2. Boy hears a mobile phone ringing; chap starts talking to himself:
other chap explains
he has a phone embedded inside his head.
3. 3rd American runs into the bushes and drops his trousers/pants: other
chap explains,
"He's just downloading some software."
Q.E.D. I rest my case.

Top-posting, I mean.
It's just like that.
Don't you?
I so like it when the punchline precedes the joke.
