First, funny that you say that from a Gmail account, where top-posting is encouraged by the mail
system.
Second, and not to get into a big discussion about top vs bottom posting, but I top-post because
typically if I'm involved in a conversation, I know what's been said already and
don't want to scroll past a ton of it to get to the meat. To me, an original message is
included in a reply as a quick reference as to what's being replied to and a reminder of
what's been said.
The people top-posting probably screws the most are the daily digest readers. But even then, if a
reply is properly trimmed, then it shouldn't matter if it's top or bottom posted.
Doesn't help that ePrompter (little app I use to check many pop3 and web based emails) has
primative original email handling where it won't indent with ">" or anything,
pretty much forcing you to top-post if you use it to reply.
I prefer top posting and don't know why there's so much animosity against it. When I open
an email, the first thing I want to see is what someone said in that email. If I need a reminder of
what was already said, or clarification on what they're replying to exactly, then I can scroll
down.
