All,

I don't normally get involved in these threads, but I want to point out
another reason for top posting.

As a blind computer user, sometimes it is more convenient to top post,
because I don't know of a way to make my screen reading software skip
over all of the quoted material.  I find it more convenient sometimes to
hear the newest material first.

William
