Yeah, sorry. This is the only mailinglist I belong to where folk
still
obsess about it. It's been interesting, over the years, to watch the
top-post fetish move from cutting edge to atavistic (and that's not a
criticism -- atavism isn't all bad). I do try to remember, but sometimes
fail.
To be precise, "bottom-posting" should be "interleaved-posting".
Responses go just below stimuli.
Is it ok to obsess about trimming boilerplate?
Most other lists to which I belong have given in to modern mailing
conventions, which largely have fallen to the dictates of Outlook (and even
alpine) defaults.
I'm using alpine and have not changed its defaults.
