oh this list is going down hill. If I only had a shaking head image... :)
Some of the ancients on this list are top-posters (myself included,
though not exclusively as this post will attest).
The plain truth is both top and bottom posting are equivalently evil.
Trimming is the only thing that can be considered more perfect than
either top or bottom posting. Sometimes it's worth it to trim. Sometimes
it's not. Sometimes it makes sense to top post (quick reply to long
email that you don't want to prune completely because it has lots of
context that may be relevant but doesn't need to be reread before
reading your quick reply), sometimes it makes sense to bottom post
(conversational situation like this one, aka "Someone on the Internet is
WRONG!"), and sometimes it makes sense to trim out the fat and reply to
only a piece of the original post.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
