<A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.> I also might add that Bottom Posting also messes up the order in which people sequentially respond to a thread. aka: I've already read/seen that 50 times. Why am I being tortured with it yet again. Summary: Post on the top when you expect that everyone will read a series of posts in order, not just the last post. Post at the bottom when you want a series of posts to generate a narrative in which only the last post is read.
