Hi Neil, I do appreciate your preference.
Lets look at it from a different perspective. Say you are a new user to <linux, suse, etc> and you have a problem and are searching for an answer. You find a post here on the opensuse list that might have the answer you are looking for, but when you are reading it, you find that the responses appear to be out of order, because of personal tastes of individuals who replied. Now being a new user, are you going to be able to sort thru that message and be able to put things in the order they are suppose to be in (like performing certain steps in a certain order)? I agree, for personal email, or work-related email for that matter, top posting is preferred. But for mailing lists, newsgroups and the likes, bottom posting should be preferred, not because of your personal preference, but for the person who comes along in the future who may not have a clue to anything and they will need to read the post in the order that it should be in, from top to bottom.
