It's funny, when I first came here, people explained to me the
"unwritten rules" for the list.  From what I have seen since, those same
rules apply to all the other mailing lists I have seen.  I didn't
understand it then but after having to follow a post that bounces from
bottom to top then back to the bottom and then back to the top again, I
understand it very well.  While I hate scrolling to the bottom on
occasion, I also hate having to scroll back and forth several times too.

Over time, I agree with bottom posting.  It just makes sense.  I do top
post when mailing with friends or something since those discussions are
usually short but some problems here can require anywhere from half a
dozen to several dozen replies and multiple people to get them fixed. 
Then it can become a serious issue.

I do agree with the blackberry and some other devices that can't help
it.  We just use a shorter tree to hang them.  LOL  :-D  Mind your toes.
