I do not quite agree. Bottom posting and top posting are different styles of responding; choosing between them depends on your purpose. Especially in a corporate environment, the previous correspondence is usually not meant to be read first, but rather meant as a reference. That's why top posting is usually preferable there. In a technical list like this one, bottom posting is obviously by far the best method - although exceptions do exist, e.g. when for some reason it is desirable that the reply is being read first. What you *think*, your intuition, is usually a good indication for that. Maybe better not let it overrule by rigid rules....?
