Why is top-posting an abomination? People who send unedited replies
should be [insert favorite torture here]. There's nothing worse than
scrolling through 4 or 5 or more levels of reply only to see a "Me
too." At least with top-posting, I can immediately delete. You imply
that top-posting by definition includes no editing. There are plenty
of people who don't edit who are bottom-posters. Top-posting is not
the abomination - the failure to snip is.

I consider the top-posting style with the whole thread quoted below
to be an abomination and a huge mistake on the part of the designers
of email programs that designed their quoting to work that way. It
leads to a huge amount of completely unnecessary material to be sent
and encourages stupid replies where pages and pages are quoted with
nothing but "I agree!" or "Thanks!" at the top.
