Nothing wrong with top posting, saves trawling through (particularly in
longer threads) stuff you've already read multiple times.
I generally delete long posts that constantly re-quote the multitude of
conversations that have gone before merely to have a one short line comment
buried in them somewhere.
Top posting has pretty much been the norm since at least the mid 90s and
there's only a small vocal majority who tend to object to it these days.
I've used multiple styles since I first went online back in 1982 - it's
called change.

OK, post as you like, provided the lsit owner doesn't object.
But I (and
ohters) reserve the right to ignore people who go against the accepted
copnventions of this list.
