Accepted Usenetiquette is to post at the bottom. Top posters are viewed by
most as bad citizens. One problem is Outlook Express users. OE does not
quote properly. Another problem is people who don't trim their quotes. You
should only quote that which you are responding to.

Usenet is not a chat room.

A: Because it disturbs the logical flow of the message.
Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
