[Tfug] Netiquette police: top-posting

One final note from me on the top vs. bottom-positing. I have a wifi-
enabled PDA that I often use to check my email with and I have it
setup to only get a certain amount of each message before truncating
so my mail sync is much faster. With those who like to bottom-post,
it's very likely that your message will get lost in the truncation
which is most annoying (especially when I can't check mail again and
manually download the entire message for a long time - ie, I sync
just before getting on a plane/car and am not around wifi for a long
while). This to me is a major nuisance that could have easily been
avoided by top-posting. I'd lose some context, but so what? Maybe
I'm unique in this scenario, but I do use my PDA a lot for mail
reading and have run into this before.
There you have my second vote for top-posting... Top-Posting Nazi,
have at me!
