Funnily enough, your message landed after Jay's reply, so it was sort-of like 
a top post :-P

I don't like top posting much for various reasons - but what really irritates 
is when people top-post in an environment filled with bottom-posters, as any 
kind of context gets seriously messed up (unless you go around editing 
top-posted replies and converting them to bottom-posted ones when replying to 
them)


I suspect this list if filled with grumpy old farts, though ;)

cheers
