We obviously have all our own opinions about being on top or bottom. 
And it boils down to personal preference obviously.

I think in all cases, top posting is by far superior.  But I think the 
battle will continue ad infinitum.

One, because of speedups in finding the most recent content which will 
always be on the top.

Two, with the new content on top, reading list posts from any phone 
becomes really easy.  If you have a particular thread you're following, 
you can quickly look at the new reply without having to do anything 
other than open the email!  I don't know of any phone that's 'smart' 
enough to auto scroll to the bottom when you open up a list post where 
someone has bottom posted.
