  Except most people on Usenet use news or email/news software.

  I have yet to find any, not even that included in Netscape 4.7, designed
to favor top or bottom posting one way or another.  This means go with the
flow - post bottom or interleaved!

  Most Usenet posts I read are done by those with signature line count 5
or less, maybe majority have signature line count of 1.  Usenet ettiquette
sources advise to limit signature line count to 5 or 4.

  Meanwhile, top-posting gets more complaints than long signatures.
Top-posting often gets the new material not appearing adjacent to the
material that it is in response to.  Combine this with lack of a quotation
symbol ("greater than symbol") added at the beginning of each line
being quoted, and it makes reading your posts even more of a chore.

  Now I gotta add below the ones you don't like to in order to make faster
reading easier!
