I see now.  If I get added into an ongoing email discussion with which
has all of the thread intact, then I would much prefer bottom posting,
hands down.

But when I am already following things on a list, and things are
trimmed, like this, then I expect to see the new text at the top, and
for reference the part of the original post at the bottom.

If I start reading in the middle of a thread, and I find it interesting,
then I sort the emails by subject and start reading from the beginning.

That's just me, though.  I respect other people's way of doing things,
and I certainly do not in any way intend to stir this topic up (again).
I remember seeing something about it before long ago, maybe on this
list, but I didn't follow it.

Thanks.
Lindy
