Wrong

So often many here bottom post without snipping and I can't see the new

parts. Most of the time I just delete them without looking at the new

content. So bottom posting does not make people snip and in my opinion makes

it no easier or harder to read. I have even seen posts here where the

content has been cut by the mail system where bottom feeders, er posters

have left all the debris. I top post, always have, and I still snip.

I do agree that sometimes inline is a good idea where there are multiple

parts to be addressed.

Besides making things hard to read, it encourages people to not trim

their replies. Observe any thread dominated by top posters, and you'll see

reams and reams of useless quoted garbage below any actual useful content.

The ideal method of replying is inline comments, with trimming off

all the non-relevant quoted text. That way you have sufficient context to

understand what the writer is responding to, and are also able to read it in

a much more conversational style.
