Of course you do dear, all top posting trolls-in-training do.


Top-posting, bottom-posting. Who gives a damn?


It's often harder to follow a discussion where a respondant top posts
because it's not as clear what points they are responding to. To add to
this, most top poster never bother to trim the quotes.

There are still many people on dialup at rates somewhat below 56K. Top
posts tend to add up until a thread contains mostly just quoted
material, in a massive trail underneath each 2 or 3 line response. In a
busy NG like this one, this can add a significant amount of download
time to those poor dialup users who want to read the NG offline (perhaps
because they have to pay telephone charges by the second).
