Good thing it was easy to follow for you.
If you have no logical arguments left try insulting everybody.

Browsers aren't designed to top post, but simpletons who can't be
bothered (or don't know how) to locate the cursor properly before they
start typing use that as an excuse to justify top posting, a format that
was adopted as the default for email, where it works since the
(generally) two people involved in the exchange know what went before.

In USENET that's not true, and a reader coming across a thread for the
first time wouldn't know what went before and would then, logically, go
to the top of the post and start reading from there in order to traverse
the correct chronological sequence of posts _if_ the earlier posts were
located at the top of the stack.

Just like picking up a book you had never read before, would you expect
chapter 10 to be at the beginning and chapter 1 at the end?

Troll, huh?

My position and that of probably >>99% of USENET is that bottom and
in-line posting is much more efficacious and considerate to readers than
top posting, so your disagreeing with that position is tantamount to
your declaring "Your format is wrong", which hoists you on your own
petard and brands _you_ as the lazy troll losing the argument.

You make my point and laugh at any inconvenience I may experience in
trying to search for your maliciously placed nonsense.

Just what I would expect of an immature, self-centered, top-poster.

Ugh...

If you consider that formatting to be beautiful, then I suggest you
consider this to be beautiful, as well:

Get a browser that supports threading like the majority of us.
Your bottom posting troll was a good distraction for entertainment purposes
only.

While the original topic was coil winding, this part of the thread has
gone off-topic and diverged to the point where what's being discussed is
the efficacy of bottom and in-line posting VS top posting.

Consequently, since my comments address top, in-line, and bottom posting
they are relevant.

Isn't comfort and lack of confusion in communications what we should all
strive for?

I've relocated your post so that it follows my earlier one in order that
you might see how much more natural the flow is, chronologically, using
bottom posting.

Just think (if you can) how much easier someone coming across this post
for the first time would find it to understand, reading it from the top
down instead of having to jump about trying to stitch together seemingly
unrelated pieces of quiltwork.

Now you consider yourself "most".

How arrogant of you to presume to speak for 'most others'.

You certainly don't speak for me.

Yup, top posting is the favouite troll of the unoriginal ones.

I can read either but most bottom posted polls longer than one page are not
read by me or most others.

Show us the numbers or admit your lie.

Do you *always* refer to yourself in the plural?
