Thanks Piers, Andrew and AndrewF; I thought as much...
But for me top-posting makes better sense since it is the message I
wish to read, not necessarily the quote. If then I wish to read the
quote I merely scroll down to the appropriate text.
I guessed, however, that Michael was saying that bottom-posting enabled
automatic thread-follower software to group similar posts in a list
window. For my part, the threading is of low importance; if I ever
wish to follow threads, I arrange by Subject in the list window, or let
Mac Mail do it for me.
Finally, I remember reading about the conventions of posting and
quoting on a news list some years ago (on a 14400 modem!) and I thought
it rather like the argument between the Big-endians and the
Little-endians of Lilliput. ;-)
