Usenet is about that old, but OE is not.  The bottom posting came about 
because we used KSR-33 Teletypes as input devices.  Was hard to edit the 
received stream, and you typed at the bottom of the message.  The VT-52 CRT 
monitors were similar, so you always got bottom posting.  So I guess most of 
these people are living in the past.  I think top posting is nice for a 
quick response.  Do not have to go the bottom of the message to see the 
response.
