Top posting is quite appropriate when not responding to specifics, and
if someone needs to remember the context, they can scroll down. Having
to unnecessarily scroll down is a major pain in the backside!!!!!!
Generally speaking, I won't bother to read posts that start out with a
lot of quoting rather than the meat of what someone is trying to say.

I've come to the realization that top-posting is yet another sin that
Microsoft needs to answer for! In MS LookOut, it expects you to top-post to
replies (I suspect this is yet another MS ploy to waste disk space[1] as I've
also observed that people using MS LookOut tend to not know how to trim
messages[2]).
