   A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.   
   Q: Why is it such a bad thing?   
   A: Top-posting.

   I've been in this group on-and-off since 2007. I've been on Usenet since the   
   90s. I've been online since the WWW was in diapers. "Doesn't post very   
   often" doesn't mean "new".

   I don't "expect" you to do anything. You may note that the original post by   
   Mr. McCue included two links; is he also "vermin malware scum"? My link   
   happens to be the same site as his second link.   
      
   If you don't want to follow my link, then don't.

   Ah, yes, the impending death of netiquette creeps ever closer.
