[Tfug] top/bottom and middle posting

I am not a stickler for top or bottom posting but when there is a mix it 
makes posts almost impossible to follow. Netiquette dictates fairly 
bluntly that bottom posting is how one should reply to a post. While I 
recognize that almost every windows email program in the world top 
posts, it is not all that tough to scroll to the bottom to type in a 
response. This is a local group so we may have our own conventions but 
we really ought to have some consistent means of doing this. I vote for 
bottom posting because I think the Netiquette folks are right on this 
one. What do you all think?

BTW: I have seen this topic boil into a raging flame war. I really do 
not want that to happen here. It is not dogma it is convention.

Sometimes I wonder.  Were our faith able to stand upright and look around, would it be looking down at the mustard seed or standing in awe of the height and breadth of it.
