Default Re: top-posting: both appropriate and inappropriate

I have to agree, I really do not see how it matters whther one likes
to top post, as I myself prefer to do, bottom post or in line post.
I can see good and bad points in all of the methods. I would think
that for most people, like myself that are not 'usenet gurus', that
top posting would seem more natural, as it is more akin to the way
replying to an email is.

One question though.... Does anyone reading this, or the last 50 or so
posts know what the original topic was? Just checking... I think it
was about the i-phone, and them allowing 3rd party applications now.
Not really sure what that has to do with top posting, or for that
matter why it is even posted in alt.cellular.sprintpcs, which is what
I subscribed to, but who am I to complain? :-)
