Well, it's also ackward to reply to posts (or news articles), where the reply is on top of the quoted text. Makes it harder to read; you don't read books upside down either, do you? :-) Anyway, I guess it's not that big deal, but at least I consider it as a Bad Thing. As you say, top-posting usually leads to very excessive quoting and either way, IMHO it's much harder to read a mail upside down. > thanks for the required_hits tip. next time i try SA, i'll read > through the docs more thoroughly.
