Top posting is a courtesy to the intended reader(s) - it enables them to
conveniently read the response without needing to scroll down. The only
time bottom-posting is really required, is when multiple points are being
addressed sequentially. With quoted text clearly indented, only the most
dimwitted reader has difficulty discerning the responder's text from that
which is being replied to. Thus, only the dimwitted have a problem with it.

RRRREOWR!

What cracks me up is a top posting git taking such a superior tone on a
netiquette issue.

Oh, and "meow".

True for email, not true for public forums.

Hmm, Tweak replied, but since he didn't even offer the courtesy
of top-posting, I shall ignore whatever useless turd he dropped.

Another clueless, top posting git posting in defense of the brotherhood
of clapperheads.

Suprise suprise.

How are we ever going to get a good cascade if you keep top posting?

I know. I'm just tweaking his buttons.

p.s. I find that trimming extraneous content is FAR more
courteous and important to readability than bottom-posting.

Top posting is not the custom in Usenet groups. Others have already explained why. If you need more information, try this:

IMHO, I like the bottom posting method better, as then I don't have to
scroll down to see what exactly the reply is in response to.

I don't care if it's top posted or bottom posted as long as it's on topic
and is posted to the appropriate group and not every unrelated newsgroup on
the net.

You plonk people because you disagree with their opinion on top-posting?

O.k....

You also seem to say little that is on topic. I'm sure Fred isn't the first
or the last person to killfile you.

Not given his attitudes. I, like a lot of folks, killfile the
stupidly annoying. Just trying to improve the signal to noise ratio
at my end of the wire....
