Subject:Re: An opinion on top/bottom posting

I did include you, but may have misunderstood what you meant.  Your paragraph below says
"bottom quote" which I took to mean the quoted portion goes on the bottom with the new text
above it, so I listed you as one of two people in the section "on top, unless the quoted
section is very short."  If that is wrong, let me know and I will move you to the correct
section.
