Top-posting is a means of showing courtesy to other
NG users by replying to them when you have something
to contribute.

Not replying at all when you could, replying without any
quoted text, and replying with abusive personal remarks
show a lack of etiquette.

The placing of quoted text is not a matter of etiquette nor
of manners. Those who object, and become emotionally
disturbed and abusive, at what is merely a difference of style
and a matter of personal free-choice, should, perhaps,
seek psychiatric help?

In any case, top-posted articles already are preceded by
a great deal of text in the header, text which includes
references.

I have no doubt that everybody will find this reply to
be acceptable on all grounds, because, in order to
not offend the emotionally-challenged, it is a bottom-posted
reply.

What is top posting?
