Newsgroup reading question

So top posting is illegal?
I'll go turn myself in. I don't top post because I'm clueless or because I
use OE, I do it because it's easier. When you read thread by thread in OE,
scrolling down becomes a PITA, it's much easier to read top posted replies.

No, it's just not logical.

So you read a book from the bottom up? The reason for bottom posting is so
that someone can join a thread at any point and be able to read the posts in
a logical manner, not reading the answer before the question.

It's all a matter of preference, I don't disagree with you, some may like it
that way, I do not.
If I only read the last post in a thread I'd see it your way, but I read
each one because allot of people properly snip, so relevant information
would be missing from the replies.
