Most newsgroups that I read are strictly bottom-posting. When I first started reading here and found that the trend was toward top-posting, I found it a little difficult to get used to. Now I'm quite used to it and in fact prefer it. Makes it difficult to remember to bottom-post on other newsgroups!
