IFF people were to be considerate and delete/trim/remove all of the irrelevant parts of
the quoted material, then the placement of the reply would not matter. We are arguing
over which is the best way to work around refusal to trim by lazy inconsiderate people.

I agree. I prefer top posting in those cases because then I don?t have to scroll through
*pages* of text that I?ve already read just to find one or two lines of text.
I?m at the point now that if I can?t see the reply on the first page of an email (which
given my screen size and font combination is about 60 lines), I ignore it (and silently
curse bottom posting). ;-)
