Thank you hendrik for your interpretation. Actually, my rant does not want to change anybody or save any soul, and has to be taken literally. I just wanted to make it clear that, in my humble opinion, top-posting is a sign of indifference and selfishness, or at least it sounds like that to me. Then, you can interpret my personal opinion as you like, but you would admit that a certain leap of imagination is required to go from a personal opinion (admittedly expressed in a direct way) to a "bullying tactics to psicologically manipulate those who see an issue differently"...
