Oh goody, I didn't miss the latest round of tops vs bottoms.

Agreed. When that happens I just delete the message unread, unless I'm

interested enough in the subject to scroll.

I think *always* being one way is... not the best strategy.

I'm tri-postal (aka slut-mode), changing depending on the circumstances.

In cases like this, where I'm pretty sure everyone already knows the

preceding emails, I'll in-line post.

If I'm replying to a SHORT post, or can trim it short, I'll bottom post,

as that keeps the original timeline. Never more than a paragraph of the

original post, though.

If some moron is simply passing around one of those CYA memos, where

they've kept every single reply since God was a boy, so they can later

pull the email out of their ass to show how the latest screwup wasn't

their fault, I'll scribble some obligatory remark ("Sounds

douce-a-licous, Bob! Let's run it up the flagpole and see who farts!")

at the top, and REPLY ALL (And those ones are ALWAYS "All", with at

least half a dozen people playing.)
