Oh yeah ... In every usenet group I'm joining this is an issue because 
some people don't follow this rule - some other didn't.

I personally really hate top posting or "ToFu" as we say in germany 
("Text oben Fullquote unten" = "Text above Quote below"). I really don't 
like to do page up, page down every time to follow a discussion. And I 
really don't like to play jeopardy, i like to have the questiion 
_before_ the answers. ;-)

I really worked.

And there are people who normally do the "normal" quoting who do "top 
posting" with others "topposter" because they think they can't handle 
it. I do not like that as well.
