I love top posting and here is why; When I read from a list using GMAIL, I look at the subject, then if it peaks my interest like this one did I will only read the first post and then I would like to see only the responses, I do not need to look through the same email 6 or more times to find and the replies mixed into the quoted text. That is my personal preference... Flame at will..
