Could you explain the difference, then?  Because if I were to sum it up from 
what I'm reading here, pertaining to the whole bottom posting thing, it 
would go something like this. "Members of the FOSS religion are an arrogant, 
intolerant, inflexible (ironic considering the miracles of flexibility of 
open source they proclaim) bunch of a-holes, still stuck in computing out of 
daddy Jobs' garage, trying to pigeon hole everyone to conforming to their 
idea of how it's supposed to be...a la the Microsoft they so loathe". 
Probably not an accurate assessment, but that's certainly how you're coming 
off.

Guess what?  He's right, not every mail client will reply at the bottom with 
the pretty formatting your little heart desires.  My client won't do it, but 
then again, none of your precious open source email clients are able to do 
the things that are actually important for my email needs.  He's also right, 
that outside of this mailing list, "bottom posting" would make you look like 
a retard.  With that in mind, should I set my mail client up for YOU, or 
keep it setup properly for every single other piece of business I do with 
it?
