I doubt that anyone here cares much about top or bottom posting as long 
as it is clear what you are replying to.

The big problem is when someone quotes an entire digest and doesn't even 
bother to change the subject line to tell which subject he is 
discussing. I don't read these messages in digest form, which actually 
makes it easier to follow. I do read a different list (not fruit 
related) in digest form and when someone quotes an entire digest, it can 
be quite confusing, with all the other posts quoted, to figure out where 
the next new post in the digest is really located.
