It seems to me this webpage uses "bottom-posting" to include both what Wikipedia [1] calls bottom-posting and what it calls interleaved posting or inline replying. For example, in the section called "Top posting", the webpage advises you to "Write anything you have to say underneath the quote it pertains to.", which is interleaved posting (unless you only quote one thing).
Is this abuse of language common? Am I actually on the side of bottom-posters because they really mean "write anything you have to say underneath the quote it pertains to" rather than "reply to everything at the bottom"?
