You're not the only weird one. To me, the most recent comments are
what's most important, and if I'm interested in the background that led
up to it I can scroll down for it. And similarly, I find bottom posting
a bit annoying, as I'm often forced to scroll down to read what the most
recent commenter wrote. (Though, obviously, that's really an outgrowth
of bottom-posters violating the "trimming" rule, rather than a problem
with bottom-posting itself.)
Personally I don't really care that much which way people post, but as
there's a good number of very vocal "bottom posting police" :-) types in
the FOSS community that often raise a ruckus when you top post, I
generally just try to conform and bottom post in the interests of
keeping the peace. :-)
