Top posting just makes more sense, in my humble opinion.<br>
<br>
If you are following the thread, then you are rewarded with the
response visible as soon as you open a message, as opposed to
scrolling down a long list of replies to see a "me, too!"
response. If you are wondering what the heck the person is
talking about, then you can read down the email as you go back in
time and get an idea what is going on. It's there for context.
Probably 90% of business emails top post.<br>
<br>
It might help to think of some of these threads as meandering
conversations rather than formal debates, though I do agree that
it is a good idea to change the subject line when the topic has
completely gone 90 degrees away from where it originally started.<br>

I don't doubt it. I can remember years ago sending messages about
top posting ...<br>
<br>
Of course, one should not overlook the range of possibilities
concerning the nature of cats. I've just read the first few dozen
pages of Stephen King's latest novel, _The Wind Through the
Keyhole._ So far, there's is just a hint about the nature of cats,
but that may change.<br>

class="gmail_quote"> Recently it has come to my attention
that new posts to the V2020 list are being created and sent
as replies to existing posts concerning different subject
matters. This might not be so bothersome if threaded e-mail
clients did not exist. However, they do exist, and are quite
useful, at least when their utility is not thwarted by major
subject changes within a thread about another topic. So, the
request is, when changing the discussion subject, to create
a new message in a new thread with an appropriate subject
heading so topics can be found more easily and ordered by
priority of necessity, urgency, or interest for easier
e-mail consumption.<br>

In a better world, "Hi, Jack" is a friendly greeting, not a
disagreeable activity.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your consideration.<br>
