You know the history and reasons the internet has against top posting, especially on newgroups and mailing lists.
I know the reasons but they don't apply to me, nor to a growing majority of users who don't use text-only clients. Most clients these days are pre-configured to hide replied-to text unless directly quoted, making pre-quoted text actually more irritating than sub-quoted.
Despite this, I *do* use text-only mode, and nevertheless find scrolling down to find replies inline irksome.
So, as I mentioned previously, this is a cultural difference; I find your preferred mode annoying, and you find mine annoying. Tough; you don't own the internet, and neither do I. I won't waste my time conforming to your expectations, and you won't to mine. So we get over it and move on.
..did you really call top-posting "abuse of other people"? Dude, get some perspective!

You know the history and reasons the internet has against top posting, especially on newgroups and mailing lists. You and everyone else top posting are just lazy culture at the expense/abuse of other people, in particular the brain power needed to decipher your messages in both direction and context. Stop wasting hundreds of other people's cycles and invest some of your own. Learn trimming and interleaving replies, google it, make your mail art, not dog shit.
