but only in mailing-lists and there only because not all are doing this
yes i and peopole are reading from top to bottom and if i follow a conversation i normally know the postings before so i need only to read the answers
with top-posting i would not have to scroll or ONLY if i have not read the messages before and even if i do not know the whole thread i must only ONE TIME scroll down and read from bottom to top, but only once
so the only real problem is that so many people do not top-posting and that they which do not realize if the thread was with answers below the question and suddenly start mixing what is really bad because you have a question and some answers below and some in top of
in business-communication top posting and TOFU is normally because with TOFU you need only the last mail of a conversation and with the top-posting you need not to scroll and see the whole answer in the preview after select a message
so this is all a point of view
