A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
- ColinWright 8y agoYes, despite the fact that in many cases there is is more work done because of it, that work is done by the receiver. So even though in-line post would often result in less work overall, people will top-post. Because it's easier. Wouldn't it be great if we had a system that made in-line posting easier than top-posting. Then there would be less work done overall.
- davelnewton 8y agoYeah :( GMail makes it somewhat onerous because it edits incorrectly when you go inline. I do it for complicated email responses, but even I have given up for easier stuff, and I rail against top-posting. So it's my fault.
