That is not quite right. Using top posting forces every reader to 
unlearn a lifetime of knowledge about narrative flow in content.

Left-right - top-down

That's how we are reading and writing in most western cultures. For me 
that's about 40 years of habbit. And it takes a lot of mental effort to 
read.

You could just as well expect that we start reading from right to left. 
Exactly the same thing.
