Re: [arch-general] top posting

And similarly, I find bottom posting a bit annoying, as I'm often forced to scroll down to read what the most recent commenter wrote. (Though, obviously, that's really an outgrowth of bottom-posters violating the "trimming" rule, rather than a problem with bottom-posting itself.) I agree that lack of trimming is th real problem. All this fighting about top vs bottom is overshadowing that point.

Ultimately though, it depends on the context. If I want an audit trail, then I top post. For fourms such as this I trim and inline. Often, after proper trimming, I find inline and bottom posting to be one and the same (as is the case with this email).
