Bottom posting has been since long the preferred method for newsgroups

A bottom posting style does not mean "all the stuff goes to the bottom"
Yes it does! That is what bottom posting is.
No sir, is just the name what is misleading. "Bottom posting" also
applies for an inline style. Regardless its name, the main idea remains
the same: the reply goes below of the text you are responding.
So what's it called when you plonk everything at the bottom, oops sorry,
at the very end? End posting?
There is also "conversation style" or "interleaved style" which is the
tried and proven preferred way for mailing lists; i.e the style you and
many others use.
That's also bottom posting ;-)
No, you are confused. There are three entirely different distinct styles:
1) Top posting
2) Bottom posting
3) Interleaved, inline, conversation. style.
Therefore, it makes sense to have *THREE* different definitions.
correct?
