   Perhaps you would care to explain why top posting is better, as you   
   obviously feel strongly about it.   
      
   But first, just to be fair, I'll explain why my own method is best :)   
      
   I tend to bottom post except where I want to reply to several points in a   
   post, then I intersperse my comments with the original text, placing my   
   reply directly below the point I'm replying to.   
      
   The main reason I do this is so that the person I'm talking to cannot   
   misunderstand which point I'm referring to.   
      
   I find that this method leads to fewer misunderstandings, a definite problem   
   on usenet.   
      
   Now, how about defending top posting. Over to you.
