It depends on when you joined the conversation. :-)

Exactly. Top vs. bottom posting and plain vs. HTML are both topics that
seem
to invoke a lot of emotions. It's just part of what we deal with when
there
are no rules. 

My thoughts are... when you are asking for help, you want your question to
get the attention it deserves. You use plain text so you can make sure
everyone can read it. You give pertinent info to help solve your problem
and
you create a subject that actually defines your problem.

Once you have everyone's attention, then if the relies are all jumbled
with
top and bottom posting, it's confusing and makes it harder for others to
offer their help.

In the business setting, top posting is the norm. they want all of the
previous message quoted. In lists, you edit and reply to ****tions of the
message below the quoted text to make your answers clearer.

My 2 Cents....adjusted for inflation to my 4 cents. :-)
