Top Posting?

I'm top posting my reply. Here it is: My inbox, and all my other mailboxes 
in all my mail clients, have been sorted by Date, DESCENDING, starting a 
few minutes after I get my hands on them, going back to about 1993. Most 
recent information on top, no scrolling to see what's new. That's just the 
way I think. Reasonable people may differ, but I will most likely continue 
to top-post or interleave, depending on the complexity of the prior post 
and/or my response to it.
