Heh, just read your email as an example. My statement is last, on this
page and your reply is top-posted to it. To a casual reader, who google
searched and found this, he'd find reply first, question second. Not an
easy read for posterity, when researching a technical problem and
finding a pile of top-posting.   

Imagine Dear Abby written like that. Answer first, and question second?
