   Sadly, my access shows the top first.  That means, it is
   best to have the most recent and therefore the most
   relevant at the top.
          ...
   BOTTOM posting is a real hassle for me.

   So, given the tools at my disposal I appreciate top-posting.

But, but, but... the choice shouldn't be whether to put 'recent and
relevant' info before or after lots of bulk quoting. Instead, the
quoted material should be trimmed to a point where it is an integral
part of relevant text.  This requires careful editing, which takes
time and mental energy, but is good for ya--it builds character.
Sorry for this old fart rant, I'll shut up now.

   And *REALLY* appreciate text only formats.

Amen---no argument here.
