Top posting gives to the answer instead of forcing someone to re-read all of the previous info. No one needs to spend their time reading and re-reading the same old stuff they have seen or posted to get to the answer. They want the answer as quick as possible! I have seen threads that have over 100 replies taking 1000s of lines that one have to go over just to read the latest entry. And a lot of times it a one word answer or someone changing the thread topic. Plus, top posting builds the answer from the ground up. The way all answers are suppose to be, that is: ... Response from questionee ... Answer 1 at level 2 Answer 0 at level 1 Question at level 0 Bottom posting is like reading most mag. The 100 last pages or so are only just ads, that no one wants to see.
