I realize that bottom posting is the accepted netiquette. I just have this
bad habit from I don't know where or when.
Anyway, could someone explain to me how bottom posting is better than top
posting (aside from "that's what everyone does")? It seems to me that
everyone must scroll all the way to the bottom to begin reading. This seems
like a lot of wasted effort, and it you are on dial-up, time. I can see
where bottopm posting makes sense if there is also in-line posting, as the
flow is more logical, but I don't see the advantage otherwise.
