Barbara, I'm afraid that in this particular affray you are "all at sea", in
fact you are *drowning*. You might as well be arguing that the sun rises in
the west and sets in the east...top - posting is* the* accepted Usenet
convention so get over it.

Your "arguments" for top - posting sound like those of a WebTeeVee noobie...

Years ago when I just lurked here there was a rather heated argument
about top posting and several people claimed it was right and they
weren't going to stop. I KF'd all of them and judging by what I saw
quoted I didn't miss much.

Hey, I resent that!
I have fond memories of my first "personal computer" - an ASR-33,
acoustic modem, and Tymshare account.
That was also about the time I had my first ARPANet login. Seems like a
century ago!
