Well, I read mails from here in Gmail, which turns the conversation into a threaded view, and hide the quoted text. I top post cos it;s email standard these days, unless there is specific chunks i want to reply to.

Oh no it isn't :)  RFC 1855 if you want a real standard.

I prefer bottom posting as it's more logical imo but RFC1855 isn't a standard. I've had some companies try and force me to use top-posting to which, of course, I reply with a bottom post :)
