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
