Changed it to [OT] and let's continue there.

Let me re-iterate my point. 

1) I think context posting is the best if it can be easily be done. 
However it is not. 

2) Bottom-posting is not any better than top-posting.

For example, Wayne Topa wrote:
"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!"

And I think replacing top-posting to bottom-posting and we have:
"The same is true of bottom posting a one line reply to a long post
and including the complete thread in the reply.  That should be
history!"

No difference here. Actually in this case, bottom-posting is even
worse than top-posting.

3) Outlook and Outlook Express are the de-facto standard. The IT
administrators are not all stupid by choosing them.

4) Anti-top-posting sentiment is more religious or historical than 
it should be justified. Some old timers make it a rule and try to 
impose it to other users. They are still doing it, however only 
on some unix-centric mailing list which by no means should be the
norm now.

Subject: Re: [EE] Top-posting, is it really that bad?

This really isn't [EE] at all, so I'm going to stop now unless you move 
it to [OT].  Just not sure if you read [OT], so last reply here.
