Hmm.
My News/Mail client (Thunderbird) displays all the posts belonging together in a
threaded manner. So I click on the first post, read the posting, click on the
second post, and the first thing I see is the first post repeated (or at least
parts of it).
If everyone simply top-posted, there would be no need for me to scroll down,
just to find a two line answer below a forty line quote - which I personally
find more irritating than top-posting.
But then that may only be me ;)
