I don't understand the problem with top posting.
Several groups I use quite a lot for business all top post,
and I prefer it. If there's a stack of conversation on a message, a reader
doesn't need to scroll down to see a bottom post, and if you are reading a
number of postings in a thread, you don't need to
scroll down past the same stuff over and over.

in context, but alas that's another Usenet convention
to include only the text necessary to put the reply

a thread, but on a Usenet newsgroup where that's not
