>I really can't see the objection to this so-called "top posting"

I dunno about you, but I prefer reading what is being quoted before
reading the response to it.  Since I tend to read top-to-bottom and
not middle-to-bottom-to-top it makes more sense to place the material
being responded to at the top and the responses below that.

Then again, most people on usenet don't actually read anything that
anyone else is saying before replying, so I suppose the mass
top-posting shouldn't be a big surprise.

Something that would be fun:  in-context top-posting.  Reply to a post
segment by segment, point by point, but reply to what you're quoting
above each segment instead of below it.  If you're going to be
annoying, might as well go for the jugular, eh?

I don't.
But then, I'm upside-down (Down Under).

I totally agree with you on that! :)
How's the jugular so far? :)
