Me too! You have to remember that a mailing list is not there only to help the orig poster but someone (me?) who might be looking in the archives for a solution 6 months from now. I try to always keep in mind what a thread will look like if I am looking for a solution in the future and while top posting sucks, a combination of top and bottom posting leaves the thread all but unusable. I personally like knowing that when I try to help someone the time I spend may help more than one person. From a strictly conversational point of view as long as there are not multiple question/answers going on top posting is indeed quicker IMNSHO.
