What's with the post nazis who think there is never any use for a top post? Although bottom posts are often useful, sometimes a top post is useful if you aren't replying to any specific nit pick - you might just be sending a general reply without addressing specific nits. Bottom posting or nit pick posting (dissecting the message and picking hairs) isn't always the best way to reply - in fact it is often an extremely critical way of addressing someone's words which can be a turn off, whereas top posting isn't so in-your-face. Both top and bottom posting are useful depending on the situation. Bottom posting or dissecting the message and splitting hairs is often abused to take things out of context, snip stuff that shouldn't be snipped, and humiliate someone by splitting hairs instead of just sending a paragraph at the top which doesn't split individual hairs.
