List etiquette question

[ian douglas]

the only top-posting I'll ever accept is someone saying a quick 'thank 
you' for working advice.

someone said:
 > ian originally said:
 > > i can't get something working on my machine
 >
 > blah blah blah, try this, try that


Otherwise, bottom-posting and snipped quoting should be the norm to 
follow the flow of conversation ... yo-yo reading just gets me 
frustrated and I'm way less likely to help with issues.
