Sorry for my english, -_-!. And I like your bottom-post indeed.
I posted the "Why" mail for I saw too much top-post mailling lists, almost
all except this one.
The "people" I meant are not all newbies, but they may be not old Usenet
hands.

Many mailing-lists attach a long content of some info, usually the first one
of the subject. And some mail service providers also attach ads at the end
the mail.
So others need to search for where is my post in the middle the mail, if I
bottom post my reply.
Certainly, I should edit quoted part rather than directly bottom-post, but I
don't want to edit
other's post.
When I received a mail with 10 top posted replies, I think, I should do as
what they do.
IMHO, top or bottom, are just a convention, of someone or a list, and there
are not two much
loftiness and sin. But I'll bottom-post here, and need to learn some
confusing things about bottom posting.

Yeah, when I wrote previous reply on my phone, I could seen none of original
post. Any this one was written on desktop computer.
