You didn't really say which way you prefer (maybe you just enjoy the
humor), but the above example is only applicable if you wait for the
last email in the thread and expect to read the whole conversation
from it. I DO hate it when I suddenly get copied into a conversation
at work that's top-posted - it's almost impossible to tell what's
going on, but that's totally different to a mailing list where you get
every email.

BTW, this is not an example of bottom posting ... it's an inline reply
with only 1 point. :-)
