I don't think that it is a bad default *for email*, I also don't think it wrong to imagine that usenet might have a similar set of social conventions as email. I *do* think that it is *as* bad to imagine that social conventions are *rules* as it is to ignore conventions when they are pointed out.

BTW I cannot find anyway to make either OutlookXP or OutlookExpress 6 default to bottom posting. it certainly isn't in the options menu somewhere, at least in the sense of somewhere accessible.
