Luciano (and others),
The following example is occasionally used in mailing lists to *mock* and *discourage*
top-posting:
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
On the other hand, inline-posting preserves the logical order of the replies and is
consistent with the Western reading direction from top to bottom.
Like this :

"Inline" posting is more work for the poster : you need to scroll down the message,
possibly remove the parts that are irrelevant, leave the parts to which you are answering,
and write your answer *below* the relevant part.
But it allows someone else to follow the conversation, which "top-posting" does
not.
Use top-posting for your personal mail if you want, but /not/ in this forum.
It is annoying.
