Isn't that exactly what you've done?

Also, if you read the wikipedia page =
to which you refer you will find that top posting is the norm these days. I=
 actually delete many ltp posts unread as bottom posting is just too much o=
f a pain. Strangely this is the only forum I read on which top posting gets=
 slammed. Perhaps  people need to get out more.

Cheers
