Bottom posting is standard Usenet etiquette. Please don't attempt to tell any further lies by claiming that it's not, as you know full well that bottom posting to Usenet was standardized: RFC 1855 "Netiquette Guidelines" "If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!" Rod Pemberton -- If you're upset over excessive use of force by police, leave your basketball court or football field, go down to your police station and picket. You can do that peacefully any day of the week without disrespecting the American flag.
