For starters I don't see Top/Bottom/Interleave posting or the new
Sandwich posting as all that big of a deal.  I understand both, can
quickly see the difference, and move on.  However when I started this
list I top posted as well.  After being scolded by Sudev I adopted the
what seemed to be annoying Bottom/Interleaved post method.  But after
doing so for awhile I have to admit I wish all messages I received were
replied to in this manner.  I do find it easier to follow than the
verbose top post method.  I now respond to all my emails with a bottom
post with a cropped prior message unless it is something that I want an
entire history contained in one email for easy reference in the future.


But I do however appreciate mostly the help I receive from others on
this list, and as long as you are helping me, reply in whatever fashion
you wish.
