[cobalt-users] Top posting, why evil?

["P.V.Anthony" <pvantony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Cobalt users,

I have seen this many times, Not top-posted because top-posting is just
plain evil.

Please point me to website for more details or share some pointers on this.

I really do not know why. If it is bad I will stop.

I always thought that it is easier to read.

P.V.Anthony
