This wins my vote for hyperbole of the year.
I've never understood why people raise 'top vs bottom posting' as if
it mattered all that much. No doubt I'm inviting you all to tell me
all over again, but I promise, I've heard it all before and it's not
very compelling. Both make sense in various circumstances.
The content of Ted's post was helpful and insightful. That should
matter far more than silly whinging about style.
