The problem with top posting is:


(b) the vast majority (like 99.9%) of top posters do not trim what
they are quoting ... A large NG with many top posted threads
can soon add up to megabytes of untrimmed quotes that a modem
user must download (and possibly pay for).


And bottom posting doesn't?


Bottom-posting *with snippage* doesn't, and decent snippage seems to
be quite a bit more common in association with bottom-posting.
