Since you seem to hate topposting, which I've done here for your

unrelated text for my response.

I was watching a wood turning program on the DIY network. They were
using a very large cream colored lathe and I was wondering if anyone
knows what brand it is and who sells them?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet?

Actually, it would more accurately be:

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

But since most bottom posters are too lazy to edit out the miles and
miles of text already read in previous posts (and if it's already been
read it doesn't need repeating, and if it hasn't already been read,
what are you bothering with the post for anyway?) The only reasonable
way for most people to read the posts is to get to the meat of the
message first, and then, if necessary (see parenthetical above) read
the background material.

If people would properly edit, there would be no need to top post.

Here's the rest of your message, in proper order:

Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet?
A: Top-posting.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?

And in fact, the most annoying thing on usenet is people complaining
about topposting.
