The appearance on this end of "why" looks to be: "to be irritating".

The appearance given out, when the pattern happens, is that the Mr Hyde
personality half of Mr Doe does it for the purpose of irritation of the
poster to which Mr Doe has chosen to "troll".

There seems to be no advantage. Other than to overtely be irritating.

Except that when Mr Doe is operating from his Dr Jeckyl personality
half, he is quite capable of proper quoting, quote trimming, avoiding
quoting headers, and bottom posting. Implying he can write a macro to
do a proper post.
There are at least two explanations for this:
One - Mr Doe has a proper voice activated macro that can quote properly
and bottom post -- which implies that the header quoting top posting Mr
Hyde personality is a deliberate choice on his part.
Two - Mr Doe only uses his voice activated macro when trolling. Which
is, again, a deliberate choice on his part when the Mr Hyde personality
is activated.
Both boil down to deliberate choices on Mr Doe's part.
So I submit that he deliberatly chooses the top posting, header
quoting, Mr Hyde version to be irritating to the person to which he is
responding.
