For starters, no one is arguing that bottom posting is better than top
posting. I guess I'd use the term "Context Posting" for what has been the
polite and standard posting procedure on usenet and mailing lists for well
over 10 years.
Mailing lists discourses are essentially conversations. If I wish to
respond to a statement that you've made, it's better to quote that
statement in context, so we all understand exactly what is being
referenced.

You are in charge. Post as you wish, stay if you like. But understand
that if you're posting for others to understand your point, clarity is
your best friend. If what you have to say is worth posting at all, why
not make the minimal effort to present your views in the proven clearest
method possible?
