I *never* understood that "excuse". I use mutt. The editor is vim.
Where does vim place the cursor when I start to reply? Right. At the
top. In what way does that force anyone to top post - other than pure

OK find me a mutt and vim that my companies IT department will allow on the
Windows NT machines and I'll use them ;-)

started to branch out for the windowz world.

Because it interrupts the flow of information.
Why is top posting a bad thing?
