in my opinion it isn't. with top posting I see the newest message
immidiately, while otherwise I need page through sometimes
huge amounts of mostly obsolete comments.
where it's possible, I put my messages on top, and I've found
more than once forum-rules that require or at least recommend
top posting.
but I garantee that I will get flames, why I do this and urge me
to change my habits.
obviously this is an ingrained habit on gentoo-users, but from
now on I'm going follow my habits and damn the flames.
regards
michael

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

sorry for my delayed replay, I've tried I lot of possibilities, needless
to say without success.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
