FYI - top posting is the current norm in many Usenet groups, especially
the
MS tech support groups where I spend most of my time.

lol...

Just because it's the norm, that doesn't make it right. It just means a
bunch of newbies are posting in that newsgroup.

With newsreaders like
Outlook Express, some people find embedded responses can be more difficult
to read than the top posts.

How in the WORLD does the newsreader being used affect how easy it is to
READ a traditionally quoted post versus a top-posted post?

As far as your example of Dell battery packs goes...there's a big difference
between the available current in a laptop battery and a battery pack driving
a headset.
