[SATLUG] OT: Bottom or Top posting

[Alex Bartonek]

This is what I think..

If the first reply is bottom posted..keep it that
way..if its top posted keep it that way..

This reply is top posted..I see that there is a reply
to your post but I have not read it..but I would have
followed with my above way of replying.

if someone has that much of a problem with "bottom
posts" they have mental issues.
