A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

I've
unearthed a Xerox 820-II, the original boot disk to which has gone
bad. Is there someone here who can create a copy of the original 8" boot
disk and whatever else was shipped with the Xerox 820-II? I have blanks,
but no means to write to them.
I have the 820-II boot disk up on my site in ImageDisk format.
I have directions on my site to make an adapter which should let
you connect one of the 8" drives to a 5.25" cable on a PC (don't
bother with the 820-II harness - just open up the disk box and
connect directly to the 50-pin connector on one of the drives).
Another option might be to write the boot disk to a 5.25" HD
diskette, then connect that in place of the A: drive (again
you will need an adapter), boot from it and copy to an 8"
disk in the B: drive.
