I don't use a screen reader, so maybe the OP or someone who does could confirm, but I think top posting probably is helpful to someone using a screen reader, particularly if people don't trim aggressively. Isn't it true that the screen reader starts at the top? So, unlike a sighted reader it might be more difficult to skim past the quoted text which you've already read through several times to get to the possibly helpful text at the very bottom.
The OP addressed her question to "seasoned links users" so I'd say those who have nothing constructive to contribute toward helping her should just skip the thread if top posting makes them angry. D. MacDougall
