I hate bottom (!) posting because I think it is the most unnatural one!

When I speak to you I normally answer to your question without (!) 
repeating your question first!!! This is "The natural way", isn't it???

When I read one mail (in a mailing list too!!!) I normally have already 
red all the previous ones!!! All the previous ones!!!
If I failed to do it, I already would have to know that I'll must start 
from bottom... Full stop, imho!

I think bottom posting is born only (!) to enable people to start 
reading a thread from any point and not from the start... But what we 
yield is far from be a "natural way"...: when I read one mail I expect 
to read the answer to the the previous one, that is supposed to already 
be red!

My 2 euro cents! ;-)
