Re: Top/bottom posting holy war *cringe* (was: New to PHP)

I concede only that the PHP list has a requested style (bottom posting). I disagree on it's usefulness OVER top posting. I'm perfectly able to read top or bottom posted messages with nearly equal fluidity. I find top posting to be more fluid and useful. I've never quite sure why this becomes a holy war. Why can't some people do it one way and others do it the other way? It's nice when everyone does it the same way, but with the indenting/prefixing lines of replies, it's easy enough to see what the last message was that the current top or bottom posted reply goes to. Because this is such a hot button issue, I cringed when I saw it brought up as a response to a new member saying "Hi" and looking for PHP coding recommendations because it always leads to these discussions. No good can come of even discussing it or bringing it up except to show people who aren't aware, that there IS a choice in the matter.
