The logical solution to this debate is to start the practice of sandwich
posting, in which your reply is placed at the top, as per top posting,
and then copied and pasted verbatim to the bottom, thereby bottom
posting. Threads can then be read chronologically from the middle in

Hi All,
I totally agree with and understand the logic behind the top posting
