It all boils down to a question of common sense. If a comment is made to the 
subject line in general, TOP POSTING is the better way. I f the comment is 
made to specific points, then  INTERSPERSED POSTING  is preferred. If a 
comment is made to the overall context, then BOTTOM POSTING *might* be 
better.
Bottom postings are *most annoying* when responding to a longwinded text by 
just saying one or two words, or a  short sentence with little or no 
substance. People who insist of applying fixed rules are usually laking 
common sense. But as always, there are exceptions :-)
