With a newsreader that show threads instead of individual messages it's easier
to read a top-post answer because you don't need to scroll down. You just click
on the question, read it, click on the first answer, the answer is right there
at the top, click on the next and so on.
But I do understand that for someone who wants to understand a reply without reading
the previous post, bottom posting is more natural.
I personally don't really care, but what I really find annoying are bottom posters
that do not trim the quoted message - especially if the original message was quite long.
