It's real simple, folks: forget all the other kinds of email venues - in

I think this says it best.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting
Follow the link to RFC 1855.
Top posting is a Microsoft plan to upset the balance of the universe.
Oh well those are my words. :)
If a message is top posted, I normally miss the response when I am
scanning messages in mail lists.
My mailer is configured to move me to the bottom of the message when I
reply. I am english based and I find that top posting means I have to
read up from the bottom. Not the way I read. This is a real pain if
the message is big and I have to read up then down and again then up to
get the important parts.
For those that scan or read many different subjects, top posting slows
the productivity down. At least for me.
