As for "the standard" being bottom-posting, it is.  Top-posting

lists these days, some of which rather vehemently require top-
posting.  Like other community standards, either standard is
right, depending on what list you're responding to.

Well, IMHO bottom-posting is the standard, not because it's "what people use in
this or that mailing list", but because things allways ment to be like that:
it's the same as not having lines with more than 70/80 columns, same as allways
having a descripting subject, not sending mails without body, not sending html
mails nor propriatary attachments...
