This answer is very good for "Top posts don't bother me as much as those who 
don't trim the quotes." also. :-)
 
When top-posting, the advantage is that it is not important how many messages 
remain at the bottom, exactly because nobody reads what's below the current 
message anyway. :-)

And by the way, there was a period when it was OK to say words like "black" but 
now it isn't. There was a period when it was OK to follow that old netiquette 
that said that bottom-posting is the good way, but now it isn't.

So, for all of the list members, please don't remember about netiquette when 
talking about bottom-posting, because it is very rude to bottom-post.

Better say that bottom-post is an old habit (and advanced programmers usually 
have old habits and not the newbies) and that the rules are enforced by the 
advanced programmers because they can help the others, and they want to 
everyone respect their preferences as a respect for their efforts of helping 
the newbies for free, not because the netiquette says this or that.
