[Premium-Rx] Top posting (OT)

Top-posting on email lists is actually fine, unlike on Usenet.  I would hate
to see bottom-posting become the rule in email threads.

The reason?  More and more users are reading email on handheld gadgets
(Blackberries, iPhones, and devices with even smaller screens), and
top-posting can save the reader a lot of unnecessary scrolling.

The rest of your advice is spot-on IMHO.
