Some of you think it's ridiculous to top post, but that's your opinion, and
I'm entitled to mine!

The difference between your 'opinion' and my 'opinion' is that bottom
posting (my opinion) has been formalized as 'correct' etiquette in
RFC1855, whereas top posting has not. I know we're all supposed to be
'empowered to be individuals' in today's society, but there's something to
be said for standards and cooperation (without which there'd be no
Internet at all).
