Re: How Walmart puts the little guy out of business

When I read top posted posts, 90% of the time I know what the post is about.
This means I only have to scroll down to see what the post is about, 10% of
the time.
With bottom posts I have to scroll down 100% of the time.
Many people don't snip tails and after scrolling down past 5 or 6 posts, you
see the posts says something like ... "hehe", "OK" , "I agree", ect.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
