The problem I see it with top posting on a mailing list like this one,
is that it makes the flow of discussion much harder to refer back to in
6 months time when you have forgotton what the last person said.
Whereas bottom posting mostly works because in English we read/write
left to writ, top to bottom, top posting breaks this up.
Whichever method is used trimming out no longer relivant text /
signatures etc cirtainly helps. It also helps with the one word answer
scenario where you should trim everything *BUT* the specific point that
you are answering.
Cheers.
Phill.
