"Pearl Harbor" still sucks...

1. I don't care.
2. I look at subject lines, if the subject is interesting
I'll read it. Along the same lines, don't you hate it when
a friend sends you an email with the message nested about
four fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd deep.
3. Bottom posting is the proper way to put milk on the
store shelf, sell the oldest first. The rest is just an
urban legend. Halitosis is better than no breath at all.

It saves your readers' time when they can see the minimal relevant
context (the specific words you're responding to) along with your
response, in a logical sequence.

I've always been discourteous.

In that case, why ask if you don't care about the answer.

Yes; it is inconsiderate--like top posting.

Top posting is lazy and careless. I generally avoid associating with lazy
and careless people, don't you?

I prefer to associate with people who are not busy-bodies.
