That bottom posting crap is so antiquated and outdated my dinosaur doesn't
even follow it.
Top posting is efficient and useful for everyone involved in the thread.
If someone is not smart enough to realize they're reading the end of the
thread, and have to scroll to the bottom of it one time to catch up, then
to me that's natural selection and they just don't deserve to be
participating. Go read a coloring book or watch WoW!Wow!Wubbzy! or
something equally trite because clearly their brain can't grasp basic
concepts even.

Subject: Re: [PHP] Will PHP ever "grow up" and have threading?
P.S. I HATE bottom posting. WTF do I have to scroll all the way down past
hundreds of useless lines just to read a "me too" or some other comment. If
it's at the top, I can simply just keep moving from header to header in
Outlook (or your email GUI of choice). DELETE as I go. Easy. Simple.
Efficient.

Bottom posting helps in users who are not participating in the thread
from the start and would like to do so.
Consider that you weren't able to check your mail for 2-3 days. A mail
has come which has an extremely interesting subject.
If everyone top posts, you cannot read the history of the thread. If
everyone bottom posts, you can read the history, know everything about
the problem and then answer, instead of just popping up "What is this
thread about?"
