A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
-FROM Garry:
Ooops! Sorry, on my previous post I did top post, but that is the way it
appears in my editor
, the area to write the reply is at the top, and the message I am replying
too is at the bottom,.
Anyway I will try to do better in the future.
How are you reading the posts? I read the list in GMail via Firefox,
and while the default is to post a reply at the top of the message,
you aren't forced to it. It's easy enough to selectively quote and
intersperse comment. I've been in groups like this long enough doing
so is a reflex.
Top posing is the annoying norm in MS Outlook, along with posting in
HTML. (I took some pains back when I used Outlook for email to force
it to post in plain text.)
