posting style. However, bottom-posting IS very inconvenient to read.
If trimming is so important and bottom-posting breaks without it, why
quote ANYTHING at all.
After all, what's quoted in bottom-posting is incomplete chunks and
no longer a full record of all that's gone before (which isn't an
issue that top-posting by design has to have), which makes it even
more inconvenient, because if you need context you have to flick
backwards and forwards between different messages to get the full
picture.
The arguments in favour of bottom-posting are illogical.
How would you respond to several distinct parts of a longish mail in
your top-posting style?
