Yo. Could you clarify top-posting please? I believe that it is better to 
reply to messages at the top, so that you don't have to scroll down through 
stuff you probably don't need to read again before seeing the reply. If you 
do need to refresh your memory on what has gone before, you can do so by 
scrolling down if you need to.

To me this is obviously the most courteous way to reply to a message, but I 
see some would not agree. So, can people please explain why it can be 
considered desirable to add comments to the bottom of a previous posting?
Yassou!
