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!
