Bottom posting only makes sense when people cut the quoted text. If people are going to always leave the full original post, then top posting is better, IMHO. On a mailing list such as this, if I need to look back, the full thread is available. Here, bottom posting is better. At work, my boss may have a long back and forth with a supplier, and then suddenly include me with a 'What do you think?' type message. In that situation, I am glad that they have top posted, including all the old messages, as I can then look back and see what has already been covered by all parties.
