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.
