Very good point but that assumes they are following a thread and understand the context of a new top-posted message. If they arrive at a single message from a search then they may have to do double duty to figure out the top-posted context. What I don't like about about top-posting is that it leads to people leaving the original postings untrimmed beneath their response. What is far worse is a one-liner bottom posting at the very end of a multi-responded untrimmed message. --markc
