Any top posting fool can claim that. I have been building steel hulled
boats, as small ast 12 feet, for 86 years.

I never understood the top versus bottom posting controversy.

Even though I post at the bottom, I like top posting better because I
don't need to sift through all the messages to find the latest like you
do if the reply is at the bottom.

My guess is that you just need to call people names.

Jim, you're not supposed to "sift through all the messages", the poster
is supposed to cut the irrelevant bits and leave only the parts relevant
to his reply. It's like many guidelines/rules; a single rule out of
context may make no sense. Posting rules stem from day's of limited
bandwidth, but also lead to succinctness and clarity.
