You're not the only weird one. To me, the most recent comments are what's most important, and if I'm interested in the background that led up to it I can scroll down for it. And similarly, I find bottom posting a bit annoying, as I'm often forced to scroll down to read what the most recent commenter wrote. (Though, obviously, that's really an outgrowth of bottom-posters violating the "trimming" rule, rather than a problem with bottom-posting itself.)
Personally I don't really care that much which way people post, but as there's a good number of very vocal "bottom posting police" :-) types in the FOSS community that often raise a ruckus when you top post, I generally just try to conform and bottom post in the interests of keeping the peace. :-)
