[ubuntu-uk] Top Posting

[Alan Bell]

The logical solution to this debate is to start the practice of sandwich 
posting, in which your reply  is placed at the top, as per top posting, 
and then copied and pasted verbatim to the bottom, thereby bottom 
posting. Threads can then be read chronologically from the middle in 
either direction, making everyone equally confused.
Or you could trim and quote as context requires.
