I've never quite understood the top posting furor.
Whenever a top posting uproar appears on usenet, it just seems to be a way
for the anal elitists in places like the perl newsgroups to get in enough
complaints about the poster to justify posting a response to a question.
(They won't post a reponse without first some minor quibble about your
posting technique or eye color)
I find top posted messages go quicker reading my mail on my (on topic)
Wyse terminal.
