Ah, I wondered if the "top vs bottom" issue would arise in this thread! 
I'm with JHR, strongly preferring "top posting." (The combination of 
"quoting everything" and "bottom posting" results, too often, in having 
to scroll through a hundred lines of stuff only to find the new post 
consists of "Right on!" or something.)

But many lists seem to prefer, or insist upon, bottom posting, so c'est 
la vie...
