Well, I can always snip out unneeded info on a top post as well, so that it
isn't hard to follow, like so...

Also, if you really want to get nitpicky ("you" being anybody), I am posting
to a web community, which just so happens to also be a portal to a Usenet
newsgroup...so I could say the conventions are different here and I don't
have to conform to any Usenet conventions. Personally, I would rather see
*only* top posting or *only* bottom posting but I think eventually top
posting is going to become the norm. Till then, there's always going to be a
mixed environment. Why Microsoft chose top posting as a default, I have no
clue.

With all due respect, the problem is when posters, such as yourself,
mix top and bottom posting, making the whole thing rather difficult
to follow.

I certainly hope you are right in predicting that top-posting will
win! I LOVE top-posting; I've been a devot?e for a decade now. It
makes it so easy to read new posts without scrolling.
