Top posting ALWAYS makes sense when the poster has included nearly 200
lines of redundant and time-wasting waffle from previous posters.
Scrolling down - all the way down - to read a few words is time wasting
and irritating.
Until posters ruthlessly exclude all redundant material, top posting
makes sense because it is the fastest and most efficient method of
conveying a response to others on the mail list.
There is an art to replying intelligently to a previous posting -
interspersing replies to the previous poster's comments BUT ALWAYS
EXCLUDING SURPLUS TEXT.
I blame M$ for introducing TOP POSTING.
