i sort of remember that top-posting only really starting taking off after O/OE 
came out.. i remember that when i first started using the internet, the email 
clients (in windows) didn't automatically assume that i would start my reply 
at the top..

but when O/OE come out, it automatically left a few empty lines at the top and 
placed the cursor there.. so, in order not to top post, i'd have to delete 
off the few blank lines..

why most unix people don't top post: cause there are alternative email clients 
to O/OE and they don't assume that you want to top post..

cheers..
