A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

Q: Why should i start my reply below the quoted text?

Just because you can do something with a computer doesn't mean you should.

(These lists are not moderated...)

The list owner's choice did not make bottom posting right, logical and 
common sense. It was all of those things already. The list owner just made 
the right choice.

(I don't think I belittled anyone for top-posting.)

We all make mistakes, but once we are informed, continuing to make the 
same mistakes indicates either a lack of consideration or stupidity or 
both.

Simple courtesy would be to only include relevant sections of previous 
posts and to reply below the quoted text.

If you don't like the rules of the playground, find another playground.
