I hate bottom posting...
I want to read what the person wrote, not what others wrote just to get to the point.
Some people are nice enough to edit and format, but too many people just add their
content at the end and it's quite annoying.
Then get a grown-up email client which can hide text you have already
read from you.
The #1 best reason for bottom-quoting is simply that you can have a
discussion. You can interlineate comments to different bits of the
text of an email, and thus have a detailed, point-by-point discussion.
This is not possible with top-posting.
Then there are all the arguments about how most scripts, be they
left-to-right or right-to-left, read from the top to the bottom of the
page.
I hate top-posting, but that aside, the ability to selectively quote
is a major functional gain. Top-quoting offers no functional gain and
throws away a feature that is vital to me.
