In answer to your URL, which was about posting at the bottom instead of the
top, the reasons why I top post rather than bottom post is:

1 I used to be a bottom poster too.  Then one day, everyone started top
posting, and although I resisted, I eventually saw the light.

2) The new material in a message is the most important part of the message,
and having it at the top means that people have quick access to the most
important information.  Having to scroll through hundreds of lines of
material they have probably read before or don't care about just to find a
line or two of new material is a waste of time, and having to do so again
and again for message after message after message is even more so.

3) The best way to understand a thread is to read through older messages.
Reading through older material in the current message doesn't usually work
because the material is usually incomplete, and the most important parts,
e.g. the original message, are the most likely parts to be missing.

4) With top posting, If people ever have to read up a message to work out
what it's all about, at least they only have to do so once for a thread.
From then on, they just read the top of every message.  With bottom posting,
they have to read down every single message, and the messages just get
longer and longer.

So in summary, this is all off topic, could someone please answer the
question about Television 4/Channel 64 please.

HI.  I just looked through some posts and see the people are bottom posting 
a lot more than before.

The only problem is that I am using Windows Live Messenger, and it has lost 
the ability to indent quoted articles.
