[Bradford] Top or bottom post?

[Brian]

Thank you for all your replies. It seems there is no consensus on this so I guess we just all carry on doing  our own thing. I use Yahoo for BradLUG emails and it is a bit 'old-school'. I had forgotten that gmail, for example, works somewhat differently.

We seem to get a mix of top or bottom postings. I do know that on the telecoms newsgroup, in particular, top posting very much frowned upon. Personally I prefer top posting in emails but could we establish a standard that we can all stick to?

I've had this discussion a few times with different mailing lists and opinions vary quite considerably sometime to arguments :-/

I personally try to bottom post when possible and Thunderbird does
    this automatically (including trimming) when you use the reply to
    mailing list option.

However I find this to be a legacy thing and personally I either use
    the thread function of Thunderbird or go to the web based archive
    system when I want to read an entire thread.

So for me, I'm not bothered and will just set my client to comply
    with this list's preference.

Kind Regards,
