Normal people talking in a group do not repeat the entire conversation every
time they respond.
I have been a usenet denizen since 1991 and have always been annoyed by
bottom posting. But nowadays especially, the commonly used POP3 or web
email client (not a specialized usenet news reader client) expects that
you'll be looking at the content from the top down.
Making a post small is not rocket science.

people respond.
