Thanks for pointing out the rule ([1] #5); this is a more effective way of
communicating the list's etiquette than the snide asides that we generally
see. It also conforms to the rule ([1] #1) that says posts should be
"considerate and respectful."

With regard to my preference, I stand by my explanation in my first post in
this thread. I think the main argument for bottom-posting is we've been
doing it that way for decades.

That said, of course I want to follow this list's etiquette. I've posted a
couple times asking how I can interleave responses in Outlook or what other
approach can I take to make it practical to stop top-posting. Any
suggestions?
