I have never seen anybody plead for top posting, I have however very often seen people asking kindly or humorously to bottom post. If you prefer top posts that seems to be unlucky for you especially as you did not ask either kindly nor humorously. I however do not take any offense and I was not speaking for others but transmitting information gathered over the years. Please go through the trouble of looking at the common posting scheme and what happens when somebody is top posting. Please note also that nobody ever has been agressed when kindly asking not to top post, as it just happened to me I am afraid that maybe I was not kind enough, if this is the case all my apologies. It however remains my intimate conviction that bottom posting is the accepted standard on this list, but if all of those who prefer top posting speak up, things might change.
