There is convention. Convention dictates no top posting on Usenet
forums. You can top post to your heart's content in private
correspondence where the parties know the context of previous
correspondence, but Usenet participants do not necessarily know what
has been posted to a thread. They have to read it in the order
presented and that demands bottom posting.

Top posting is rude.
