One point I can't recall having ever seen in one of these discussions is
the fact that, in my experience, top posters are much more likely to
forward on juicy bits by accident.  It can be very rewarding to read
down to the bottom.  I still remember the e-mail from a client company
which came complete with the entire internal discussion planning how to
weasel out of the contract with us.

And to drag this around slightly closer to on-topic again, despite rants
about how the AOL users destroyed the Internet, I think a fair amount of
top-posting "blame" can be given to Outlook and other MUAs that came
from the LANs and discovered the Internet late.  I distinctly recall
that the very first version of Outlook that I ever was involved in
"connecting" to the Internet made it essentially impossible to bottom post.
