     Why do we have to discuss some iron-bound posting style as if it were some
sort of religious principle?  Why not top post, middle post, or bottom post as
happens to be appropriate to the situation?

     If I respond to more than one point in a post, I will middle post in two or
more places, snipping text that is not related to the points I am responding to.

     If I am responding in the middle of a thread and someone is likely to add
additional points, then bottom posting gives the best flow.  Here, it is
important to snip extraneous text, or everybody will have to scroll to find my
contribution.

     If I am answering a simple question and there is no particular reason for
the thread to grow, then I top post; after being courteous enough to snip any
excess text from the original post.

     There is one common point in the three posting styles; snip, snip, snip.
