The problem with top posting is:
(b) the vast majority (like 99.9%) of top posters do not trim what they
are quoting. Usenet isn't email, and repeated top-posting leads to two
line comments on top of 50K long top-posted trails of redundant
messages.
I'd rather see the one-liner at the top, and then I know to skip the rest, than to claw my way down to the bottom to do so.
I have no problem with an appropriate mix of top, bottom, and interleaved postings. Each have their merits.

Freedom. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
for Email, make the obvious change in the address.
