my nickname is actually KatolaZ, as written at the bottom of all my
emails :) On top of that, if you would have bottom-quoted my message,
you would have noted that my personal rant was followed by "IMHO",
which is short for "In My Humble Opinion".
It was labelled humble, but the message didn't sound very humble. It also
sounded as if you have never tried to find a rationale for top-posting.
If you assume 1) that most people read their mail using clients that show
the top part of a message by default and can scroll/page to the rest, 2)
that people generally remember what a thread is about when based on the
subject and 3) that people are generally disciplined about digressions,
then top-posting isn't at all bad. The main content of a message is
presented on-screen right away, even on a small screen, and in case the
reader doesn't remember the context, then that context is available by
scrolling down.
