Chris, I think this is a perfect example of why we have struggled so much around the guidelines for clear writing. There are top-post messages that are perfectly comprehensible, and there are non-top-post messages that are are very difficult to understand. Enforcing a prohibition on top posting does not lead to more comprehension. Understanding what makes email difficult to understand may (or may not) lead the author to avoid top posting, depending on the circumstances. Loretta
