Ah, where would the Internet be without arbitrary rules for people to
enforce?  I personally think we'd have e-mail clients that made top or
bottom posting irrelevant.  They'd be designed so that a reply done
quickly was put on the top for the sender's convenience, and then on
the bottom for the receiver's.

But hey, the Internet was started by DARPA.  You can't have a military
project without some kind of dumbass bullshit to yell at people about.

P.S. Is middle posting OK?
