Seeing it's still April 1 here...
Very good point but that assumes they are following a thread
and understand the context of a new top-posted message. If
they arrive at a single message from a search then they may
have to do double duty to figure out the top-posted context.
What I don't like about about top-posting is that it leads to
people leaving the original postings untrimmed beneath their
response. What is far worse is a one-liner bottom posting at
the very end of a multi-responded untrimmed message.
