Hmmm, i wonder why top-posters would think that the vast majority of
every e-mail message was trash...  </sarcasm>

Some of us prefer to actually only send the bits that we think people
will need.  This is *not* un-filtered bottom-posting (which is just as
rude as top-posting).  It's simple common courtesy: if i want you to
read my message, i'm not going to make you guess what parts i want you
to read.    I'm only going to include the pieces that i actually want
you to read.
