Hi All
Does anyone know if there are any articles on top posting versus
bottom posting? I cannot see any reason why bottom posting would be
prefferable over bottom, yet I see bottom posting dominating most lists .
cheers

Hi John
I gave them a quick read and I think this is what Jared meant and
what I am ok with, put a snippet of what you are responding to and
that should do, either top posted or bottom posted is acceptable.
cheers

The use of top posting for the new material means that it can be read
faster. Receiving over 200 emails per day usually time is of the essence.
