[Cialug] Network slowness

[Jeff Chapin]

Bottom posting is posting *below* the reply, forcing you to have to
scroll through the entire message replied to to get to the reply --
which is why "bottom-posters" also tend to be "trimmers". On the flip
side of the coin are the people (myself included) that think that the
most relevant data should be at the top for easy, quick access -- which
also allows you to avoid trimming, and thus have full context with messages.

On the side of the coin are in-line posters, posters that alternate
replies with quoted text. It has it's place (such as replying to
multiple questions), but often times is very hard to read.
