> I doubt "bottom posting" is a term people who started online in the last
10
years know - with today/yesterday's example, my takeaway was the original
poster didn't know what it meant.
Yeah, the first time I heard about it is on this mailing list. I didn't
know it was a thing before, and I admit I might still not understand why it
is a thing. All my life I have been used to "newest first". Whenever I
encountered a website or an email that asked me to scroll for the newer
content it upset me. Now I see that some developers prefer this style. It
could also be the fault of user agents that don't scroll/hide the old
content and force me to read it again.
