Re: Top posting

Some points:

* Top posting is more efficient for all if the context is clear

* Top posting makes it easier to respond to only one point of many

* For the blind listening to text-to-speech reading of the page,
top-posting is the only way to go

* I vote for top-posting, including quoted snippets above when needed
to set context ("partial interleaved posting", really).  There are
good examples of this earlier in this thread.

* I have no problem with full quoted blather after the post as long as
I don't have to read it.  Email clients suppress its display, it's not
that much extra disk space, and it could be detected and converted to
a pointer if one cared about squeezing out the redundancy (e.g., for
archival storage).  It also of course enables deletion of all previous
messages in the thread without losing anything.
