Neil- Agree with everything except Top posting responses-
In the old days - a bottom response was the proper etiquette, but in the
past few years- on emails and list postings- the TOP has become an
acceptable and often preferred  alternative- especially in Business use.
The responder just needs to be aware they must also TRIM the previous
reponses to clean and reduce the size of the text to what they are
addressing.
The Bottom response was a method originally when we had 14k modems to
force the responder to be sure they cut as much of the Fluff out of the
message as possible.

Just my opinion.
