Please do not bring habits from the paper world to the electronic world! Netiquette is consideration for others think of how easy it is to read - See how people can, with bottom posting, see the sequence of events .. and therefore understand what you say. If you come to a mail list, like this, and want help then those who might be otherwise be willing to help might be discouraged and ignore you. Forcing people to read your stuff out of sequence is really quite rude. . , Think about long paragraphs Think about reading the output from mail list threads and then responding to it.. Top posting is really inconsiderate and shows lack of experience Think about the effect of long paragraphs and then having to move backwards and forwards and you read one paragraph downwards and then are foprced to move upwards to read the subsequent posting.... Tha means scanning and rescanning. Top posting is neither sensible or practicable for the reader. I learnt from those who showed me when I started using email well before the internet began.
