I am usually fine with bottom posting, but sometimes I make an
exception if I am replying to some thread, where the replies "so far"
have consistently established a sort of "pattern" of bottom posting.
   My other 0.02 which I would like to add (even though this probably
goes without saying), is that if someone is replying to a digest,
they should take the time to ** at least ** cut out all of the stuff
((in the "history" part of the message)), that is not even relevant
to the thread they are replying to.
