Still don't like it... But to each his/her own, I guess. Except as prescribed 
by the mailing list owner. :-)

I never said anything about bottom-posting or inter-posting specifically, just 
that I don't like top-posting.

Lazy and wasteful!!! (See below)

Absolutely. Many top-posted messages contain miles of useless, 7-level-deep 
quoted text, often including several signatures and the mailing list footer 
over and over... I don't want a 32Kb email when all the relevant information 
is in 2Kb. I always try to trim to relevant parts, remove any excess sigs and 
footers.
