This point has merit when it is a personal conversation between two |
| 9 |
people. Although I still bottom reply in those cases (or inline reply |
| 10 |
as you would say), I can see why top replying is not so bad. |
| 11 |
However, for mailing lists where there are many readers, a |
| 12 |
number of whom have not been actively following the thread, bottom |
| 13 |
posting is annoying. |

Also I save some message from this group as reference to be read much |
| 16 |
later if I encounter a similar problem. Then bottom-posting is |
| 17 |
considerably better. |
