   Once again, you open your mouth and show your complete ignorance. The   
   accepted norm on Usenet is to clip the quote to what you are responding to,   
   and post your answer below. It's been that way for over 25 years. I know   
   groups where top posters are automatically killfiled by most users for that   
   reason alone. In fact, in some very busy groups, I do so myself. Why?   
   Because 1) the top poster rarely has anything to offer except some one   
   liner reply, and 2) is either too stubborn or ignorant to learn the   
   accepted ways of doing things and abide by them.   
      
   --   
   A: Because it disturbs the logical flow of the message.   
   Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
