Sigh, I'm used to top-posting because Lotus Notes (as installed at work) 
forces that. Doing it different is a major hassle, which results in most 
people not taking the trouble. Neither do I when its not absolutly needed.
Result is i am trained in figuring out mixed posts. Something you get 
when having an email conversation with people not using lotus notes.
