Regarding top posting versus bottom posting, pretty almost everyone who has
commented agrees that top versus bottom posting isn't the problem. It's
laziness about editing, perhaps exacerbated by certain email systems that
encourage that laziness.
So how about this: instead of demanding "PLEASE DON'T TOP POST," why not
suggest, "PLEASE EDIT FOR BREVITY (and keep your comments in context by
bottom posting)."
It really would improve these Postgres conversations.
Cheers,
Craig
