Me too.

Well, having subsisted in an MS Outlook office for nearly a year, I've
had to tell people to go BACK and re-read my e-mails because they
didn't see my bottom postings.   In some communications, to keep
things in context you need to quote for some people half their e-mail.
 And so in those situations, I'd shift from top to bottom, depending
on the intended target's known inability to read not-top-posting
quotes.

Sometimes you have to be able to speak idiot, because they certainly
won't take the time to speak you...
