Larry and Bill,

You both are right. Your opinions are predicated on the willingness of
folks to delete everything not necessary to keep the new post in context.
Here in the real world that isn't the case and for that reason I'm sure many
of us will prefer the new posts at the top. If you are having problems with
context it should be you to do the simple scrolling, enough to establish
context and no more.

Insulting top posters needlessly isn't productive. One thing to remember...
on usenet you guys have no rank to pull!

At the end of the day, it's about communication. If you can save one
reader a few seconds, then you have saved hundreds if not thousands the
same time - it all adds up. And they will thank you for it: not
necessarily by overt actions, but in the overall impression that your
postings make on them ("Win Friends and Influence People"). That is why
bottom posting after appropriate quoting has been found over the years
to be the best quoting method.

Good post, Bill. Bottom or interstitial posting is the way to go.

short quote of crucial text from original message

quoted text
