Judith --
You articulated the primary reason for top posting very well.

Replies are primarily for the benefit of the reader, not the author.  For this reason, I would like to encourage the <5% to go along with the crowd (even though, in general, I dislike crowds).

Chris does have a good point when it comes to all the 'junk' at the bottom of these pages.  Therefore, I'm snipping this just below the last message.  Wish I knew how to snip the adds as well.

In the Yahoo groups in which I have a membership, 14, Top Posting is by far and away the preferred.  My gestimate is <5%.

 

There are a few bottom posters, but they are definitely in the minority in these 14 groups.

 

The reason I like the top posting is I've already read the previous post so I don't find it helpful to scroll down through it to see the answer.  I just need the new stuff not -- not a plow through a rehash to get to the new stuff.

This is called top posting..... and not very reader friendly. Usually found
implemented by noobs and chat SIG's.

FWIW, it's best to clip the fluff, quote the meat, and do bottom posting. Do
not change the subject, and all should be fine.

However, this is all a matter of convention. I'm a bottom poster. Clean and
concise.

If top pposting is the "convention" here, so be it.
