I like your posting style: context posting. However the email
clients are not making this easier and this is across Linux
and Windows. Few people are using context posting since it
requires more effort on the user' part. I do admire those
who do this. 

However I disagree that bottom posting is better.

"The same is true of top posting a one line reply to a long post
and including the complete thread in the reply.  That should be
history!"

No difference here. I see no justification bottom posting is
any better than top posting, but that IMHO.

If you can't see how bottom, or context posting helps the reader, 
then yes.  

The same is true of top posting a one line reply to a long post
and including the complete thread in the reply.  That should be
history!

I see no justification for top posting at all, but thats JMHO.
