Personally I prefer to read from the bottom up as then see when changes take
place and the thread may have a few branches rather than having to go to the
top every time a find that a branch has developed where I wasn't expecting
one.
That is just my way of doing things however I may not be the only one.

PLease, I ask people to stop TOP POSTING!!! It destroys the
sequential flow of the thread!!!
See bottom for my reply.
1. If the message is short, bottom posting with a full quote makes sense.
2. If the message is long, short partial quotes, with the reply at the
bottom makes sense.
3. If the message is long, quoting the whole thing and putting a short
reply at the bottom
is EXTREMELY rude.

Calling it rude is a value or attitude judgment.
To say that it removes the sequential flow of exchanges re: a thread is
not a value
judgment but a verifiable experience of newbies who will see the thread
in the archives
and not follow why the "one liner" was posted at the top.
When you have many one liners at the top, intermingles with many replies
at bottom
then the logical flow of original post and subsequent replies loses
quite a lot of
the logical flow.
