[time-nuts] Posting style Was: looking for gooddescription/generalized model for time adjustments

[Didier Juges]

That would be incorrect. 

To use your analogy, bottom posting is like restarting a book at the
beginning each time you put it aside to do something else and close it. 

Another reason for top posting, which is much more recent though: on the
Blackberry, long messages are truncated and you have to download the rest of
the message separately (click "more"), which is an even greater pain, so on
the Blackberry, top posting is VASTLY preferred.

Bottom line: some people prefer one way, and others prefer another way. Live
with it, be flexible. It's here to stay :)
