My wife has the same idea. Interspersed is OK I guess. It is not by mail
clients like Outlook that starts you at the top of the message.

I am sure you are an honest person but to say that you can read a mail
message consisting of several messages and replies as easily with top
posting as bottom posting is just plain silly.

As small children we learn to read pages from top to bottom. So that is
the way e-mail messages should be constructed to be read.

Although my wife a tecnophobe refuses to believe this.
