Why do we bottom post? People have said so you can read what has
been
already written before you reply.<br>
But all the time people <snip> out big sections. That IMHO
defeats the reason for bottom posting.<br>

<br>
No IMHO.<br>
<br>
You snip a text and keep important stuff so people can better
understand your answer.<br>
<br>
With bottom posting, you have the text in the normal read order.<br>
<br>
I am a tech support engineer and all i can say is that top posting
is very irritating, i receive like 400 e-mail a day... Reading long
posts reverse is a nightmare.<br>
<br>
You may have reason to resist bottom posting like using Outlook
(which has many default like not respecting anything: Standards,
posting order, etc). But that's an entire other story...<br>
