Default Top Posting

Top posting is the default way in OE. I think it is the way it should
be done. I am "smart enough" to remember what the original post was.
I have blisters on my middle finger from scrolling down to see what
the reply is from those who bottom post. Sometimes, there is a 3Kb
response that only has only 3 words to say. Why go through all the
dribble leading up to those 3 words. I top post out of consideration
to others who care to read the response, not re-read all the other
thread in it's entirety.

To paraphrase Mr Spock "Top posting is illogical, Captain". Who answeres a
question /before/ it's asked?! Or, to put it another way; imagine a PC
magazine Q&A section - they don't print the questions before the answers -
there'd be an outcry if they did!

People who top-post are too lazy to snip, IMNSHO. And to say it's out of
"consideration" is complete ********, and you know it. People have to scroll
down to see what the original question was!

You're just too damned lazy to snip, admit it.
