Hi Neil,
I do appreciate your preference.
Lets look at it from a different perspective. Say you are a new user
to 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.
Now if you're in China....
