No, top posting is for lazy people who can't fathom the way a thread
works.


Agreed. The flawed logic of top posters is that they all seem to think that
their reply is the definitive end to the thread, and that no other posts
will be following. A thread is a stream of consciousness, or in the case of
wrecked.boats, perhaps more of a puddle of consciousness. But at any rate
the only way to achieve continuity and proper chronology of prior posts
included in a current post is to bottom post. When there's a mix of top and
bottom previous posts included in a current post, it is nearly impossible to
determine the posting chronology. There's a reason that printed information
is printed from the top down. Nobody would want to read a newspaper
article/magazine article/book, etc. if the paragraphs of the story were
scattered about the page all higledy pigledy, now would they?
