Rick: Honestly, I've been doing this a fair amount of time just like everyone else, and I have yet to see a valid argument for why bottom posting is better.
Luke: "bottom" posting makes more sense for discussions. If one is to summarize or reply generally, it's probably better to top-post or maybe even just reply w/o any past content (though that only works with threading)
Rick: To the contrary, I've always seen it as a huge pain, *especially* with multiple levels of reply (which I try to avoid altogether).
Luke: If the discussion is long enough and involves multiple people, then I can see how it could confuse you when trying to determine who said what... but in the end, does it really matter *who* said it? What matters is *what* was said.
Luke: So, how about this style of replies? Takes a bit more effort, but it's certainly more readable than anything else...
