You fellows that want to bottom post must first type it in and then cut and paste the marked message that is being replied to above it; or, it picks up the bars and/or karets marking it all as replies. Other wise us slow ones either have to read all the same thing over or just skip too much.

Bottom posting this time..........
Actually, it seems to depend on how you set up your email software. Mine (Netscape 7.2) is set up (by me) for bottom posting. I simply hit <reply> & started typing. The only time I end up on a line with a previous bar/karet is occasionally when I'm trimming a previous post. It's always obvious & easy to correct. I prefer chronological order, but I try to conform to previous posts if I'm #3 or later (except here, of course).
This stuff really is a problem on this list; far more than any other that I frequent. Colors & stuff are interesting, but when someone starts typing on the same bar/karet and a 2nd person re-uses a previous color, and some are inserting text & others are top posting while still others are bottom posting while....electronic Tower of Babel.
Enough of that. Let's talk about something people aren't so passionate about, like red state/blue state or foreign policy. ;-)
