I hate top-posters myself. What is worst though is combination of top-posting and bottom-posting on the same thread. I think the situation is compounded by the fact some tools like Outlook I believe, do top-posting by default. It would be good if a program like 'mailman' which is used for some mailing lists, could actually detect top-posting and reject it automatically, with a message back to the sender, explaining why.
