Top posting _IS_ the preferred option, not the least reason
being that you get to see the new stuff immediately without
having to trawl through repeated stuff that you've
already seen.

English is read from the top down, and citations and _FOOT_
notes belong at the _FOOT_ of the page.

Actually, it's Bill Gates' preference, since Outlook and Outlook Express
default to top posting and they're used by darn near everyone in
business. It can't help but carry over to private email.
