It's an alien posting style to me, to be honest, since I work at a law firm where absolutely 
nobody does bottom posting, so I understand the resistence to it.  At work, I need to see 
the most recent message at the top because otherwise I have to sometimes scroll for 
pages before I get to the meat of the post/instructions/ etc.  That can be really annoying.

Curious, isn't it?

I belong to several groups where bottom posting is the 
accepted norm.

Outside that, I find top posting alien. I do quite a lot of 
emailing in connect with my church and, again, pretty well 
everyone uses bottom posting.

To me it just seems logical to keep everything in chronological 
order.

C'est la vie.
