Some years ago I would have agreed, that it messes up the order in which people usually read text, but a friend changed it: He's blind and is saying nothing <insert stronger expression for annoys him more> than having to search for inserted comments in the middle of an email that is part of a thread he's allready familar with. I tend to agree with him that it is indeed more comfortable and faster even if you're not handicapped. And yes, there are also good reasons not to top post: Multiple comments to different parts of a post, just to name one. After all, email threads in newsgroups and mail lists are not normal text :) cheers, Toralv
