(ages since I jumped into a troll... :-)

What against-top-posting people do not WANT to understand is that the very first 
interest of posting is, to me, to get help or information.

So, you post your question and, by definition, you remember what it was (well, I 
hope so).

Then, you go back to the ng the day after and if you got an answer, you are 
interested in the answer, not to reread your post.

I do not read answers to questions I did not post, so I don't care about 
"unlearn a lifetime of knowledge about narrative flow in content".

Period.

But as I try to be a gentleman, I did not top-post my post :-)
