OT: top-posting hatred [Was: Re: Update Manager in 9.04]

[Kyle Smith]

The constant top-posting argument makes me want to leave this 
distribution list.  Am I alone?  Just because our email clients are 
configured to post on the top by default doesn't mean we're stupid.  I 
spend more time deleting rude messages about top-posting or people who 
ask "stupid" questions than I do reading legitimate conversations 
regarding Ubuntu technical support.

P.S.  I do normally bottom-post, just to be polite to the norm of the 
list, but I wanted my comments to stand out.
