Hello mark!

I concur.  I find that most top posters include the whole original post  
and don't bother to remove the irrelevant (stinky) parts.  But then I  
guess each person has their own sense of smell.  :(

By bottom-posting I meant/include in-line, that is writing *after* the  
relevant text.

In-line is a fine fidonet original style.

Have you ever tried to modify internet email messages to in-line?  I would  
use a combination of indent, bullets, italic, bold.  It freaks out some  
people that you reply to!  :)

Some "devices" would be inconsistent on how they handle bullets, then it  
is hard to understand who wrote what.
