Do you want your replys to be read, or dont you care?  As for lazyness,
most bottom posters dont seem to bother to snip.

Peoples email clients, work habits and environment mean that people to
work the way thats comfortable to them.  You want your mails read, you
work with them, not get on a soap box and say "YOU MUST BOTTOM POST". 

My own view (and I have been using email since 1994 is top posting is
best, but I am willing to bottom post, though usually I just delete or
dont bother to read the majority.
