Others have show why top posting is silly.  Reading a longer post
is equilivent to vertical tennis.  

More importantly, you make a presumption that all the articles will 
arrive in sequence and be properly threaded.  That isn't always the
case in a system of thousands of NNTP servers.  

What amazes me about this offshoot I started is that the primary 
element of my posting was to help some clueless humorless fellow
understand why someone in the 35mm realm was complaining about
mass crosspostings.  And so I have changed followups to suit.
For some reason you and a couple others wannabe rebel top posters
felt a need to beat your chest about why your inane practice makes sense.
