Top posting is a courtesy to the intended reader(s) - it enables them to
conveniently read the response without needing to scroll down. The only
time bottom-posting is really required, is when multiple points are being
addressed sequentially. With quoted text clearly indented, only the most
dimwitted reader has difficulty discerning the responder's text from that
which is being replied to. Thus, only the dimwitted have a problem with it.

RRRREOWR!

What cracks me up is a top posting git taking such a superior tone on a
netiquette issue.

Oh, and "meow".

You also seem to say little that is on topic. I'm sure Fred isn't the first
or the last person to killfile you.

Not given his attitudes. I, like a lot of folks, killfile the
stupidly annoying. Just trying to improve the signal to noise ratio
at my end of the wire....

To actually do that you'd have to stop posting altogether!
