You are wrong sir.
Reason why experienced people prefer bottom posting (i.e. replying) is
because new people who want to read the whole thread in the hope that
they find a solution similar to their problem, will be able to read the 
whole
exchange and understand the relationship of the replies to the previous
posts or replies.
If you do not think this is useful, try to read a book about quantum physics
by reading pages at random and see if you understand anything and how it 
relates
to the rest of the book.
