[ale] Changing Linux

[Jim Kinney]

Thanks to changing methods of email and cheap storage, top posting now
makes more sense.

When storage was very costly, i.e., pre-Internet days, bottom posting
preserved the thread because the prior messages were deleted.

Now with cheap storage, all emails can be kept in thread order and top
posting makes info retrieval easier.

The world has changed. See bottom for more.
