Thanks for realizing that. I've never seen any explicit "rule" for
top/bottom posting either. The most recommended method of posting is
in-line -- leaving just enough for others to see what you are replying
to (snipping what's unneeded). Sometimes that winds up being in between
quoted material, sometimes (like this post) at the bottom. Even though
the reply is at the bottom, it's not really bottom posting.
