It's somewhat amusing, but mostly annoying, to see people fighting this 
fight still even after 10+ years on the Internet.

In my experience, there will always be 2 kinds of posters in email 
lists/USENET:

1) The somewhat intelligent comprehensive types who understand inline 
posting and the reasoning behind it.

2) The lazy type who don't give a damn and top post because its 
easier.  These are the types who usually have that annoying feature in 
Windows turned on that automatically zaps the mouse cursor to whatever 
default button appears in modal dialog boxes.

The sad thing is that the people in group #1 never seem to realize that no 
matter how many people in group #2 they might "convert" in their crusades, 
there will always be more group 2'ers in line behind them, and in the 
meantime they piss off everyone else in group #1.
