What 5 links in the middle?

Ah, the top-posting syndrome.

Old quote, but more valid than ever:

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

I find it almost comical that people do not realize how unnaturally they 
behave, and how hard they make it on their recipients, when they top-post.

Oh, and usually, I take top-posting as a clear sign that the poster is not 
worth replying to.  Take this mail as a sign that I take care of what you 
said, _in spite of_ your top-posting.

Ciao,
