If you're following a  thread, then most of the history of that thread
is pollution when it is quoted over and over, and the style that now
comes from email, that of top posting works extremely well.

In any case, what you call top posting is not, for the many lines of
header precede it, and if you wish to trace the thread, then the
trace info is in the header.

Top posting makes it harder to follow a thread? Pooh!
