I tend to follow the example of whoever has replied before me. If someone
has already top posted, fine, if inline, I do that too.  I find top posting
to be easier, just because of the cursor already being there, but if I'm
reading archives looking for an answer to a question, I don't give 2 damns,
as long as an answer exists.  I think we've all been online long enough that
we've trained ourselves to skim very quickly for just what's relevant.  So I
guess what I'm trying to say is: Meh, whatever.
