Eberhard, and others:
I view the list's messages individually in kmail, not as a newsgroup
and not with a threaded view. It matters not to me if someone top
posts, bottom posts or inserts comments in the included text.
In fairness to those who make the "mistake" of top posting, many
email clients (especially the free ones, like Yahoo mail) put you
at the top of any included text when you do a "reply to". It takes
a bit of effort to invert that order. Also, most, if not all, corporate
email exchanges use top posting, so insisting that users bottom
post is forcing users to modify their behavior to satisfy the limits
of the software (your threading newsgroup stuff).
Like I said above, I don't give a rip one way or the other. I just find it
amusing that I can almost set my watch to the time that it takes
someone to admonish "No top post, please!"
