This is one of very few email addresses to which I send email where
people are fussy about top vs bottom posting. I've given up on
convincing people of the merits of bottom posting or replying inline
because so many people who use mobile devices or aren't familiar with
these practices have told me, "You sent me an email but you didn't say
anything." They didn't think to scroll down to read. Except to this and
another list, I top post and I use HTML email. I could insist that the
rest of the world conform to what I think is right (bottom or inline
posting - no HTML) and have many of my emails ignored or, I can just do
what the majority of people do, which is top post and use HTML email to
emphasize things. Giving up being right has my emails read by more
people. :)
