If your email client defaults to top-posting, it probably also
defaults to trimming, which is possibly an even greater
offense; take a few
moments to trim your quotes for relevance and put your text where it
belongs (which
is
inline after the parts you're responding to,
not just moved to the
bottom). If
your email client won't let you do that, it
is just plain broken and
has
no place
in civilized discourse.
Or, of course, feel free to be as obnoxious as you want in how you
format your outbound email. But everyone else is equally free to
ignore you. I know I certainly am likely to, if you insist on
top-posting and/or not
trimming.
Top
posting implies that you are only interested in computers from
the 1990s or newer.
Actually, it's just plain arrogant (and/or rude).
I've written up a
piece describes how I see this, which is at
ftp.rodents-
montreal.org:/mouse/blah/2012-09-26-1a.txt; the last three paragraphs
are especially relevant to this point.
