I think *this* point cannot be stressed enough. I frankly do not care if
you top post or bottom post -  without editing anything out of the mail
you reply to it's just the same mess. From this point of view bottom
posting is even *worse*, as I have to wade through kilobytes of unedited
stuff which I have read before, then read what you (nothing personal!)
wrote, and then still have to figure out which part of the mail that you
completely quoted you were answering to.

So people: TRIM YOUR MAILS!
