All,
Yes, I'm a top poster. Simply because I use gmail, and I don't want to
click & scroll to the bottom of the message every time I respond to a
message. But yes, I read everything in this thread, as it shows as
bottom posting in my compose window.
Sorry for the inconvenience...
it is inconvenient but so is the way gmail sets things up; I think
some other email clients do the same.
if I were using gmail, I also would probably top-post because it's one
degree of inconvenience against another.
I think trying to _write_ bottom-posting when the email program
resists it is more difficult than trying to _read_ bottom-posting.
(I'm not a dogmatist; I'm a pragmatist.)
Met vriendelijke groeten, Salutations distinguées, Kind Regards,
mit herzlichen grüssen!

one requires re-reading the post, before getting to the new
bit;
one allows the new bit to be read - if one needs refreshing
on what's gone before, then merely scroll down.
Why do some folks want to complicate things which are really quite
simple;
oh, windows could be rolled up & down in a car whenever;
then electric windows made it impossible to do so unless
the
engine was running ;-)

many (all?) of us read several posts so you end up with a bunch of nearly
meaningless opening lines; why read further? with bottom-posting, you see
right away what the issue was, which motivates further reading.
I know this is a perennial disagreement; perhaps top-posters might at least
consider pruning the thread so it's easier to know what they are talking
about.
