This list seems to suffer from long sections of quoted text with 
sometimes just a single line of new stuff right at the bottom (eg. 'I 
agree'). Provided people cut out all but what is relevant to their 
reply I personally don't mind whether it is top, bottom or 
interspersed. But as one with a casual interest in most of the posts, 
the ability to quickly see the gist without having to scroll down 
several page worths is vital. I am told by the way that top posting is 
far preferable to disabled people using reading aids, as they hardly 
want all the old stuff spoken by their machine before they get to the 
new stuff.
