I have to disagree with this :)
Top posting is annoying, some of us might read hundreds posts a day and
reply some. If it's top post, one must scroll down and see what it was about
before even replying. Especially this get annoying if post is not properly
snipped and is long.
Bottom posting is slightly less annoying, but it has it's problems also.
Especially on long post if you are gonna reply on several points..
That's why I keep using inline posting and snip away texts that I am not
replying into etc. Sometimes leaving more text depending situation. This way
there's quote of the text I am replying straight up from my reply. Easy,
fast to see on what I had replied to etc.
Have you considered about possibility people might not even respond because
they might be annoyed by the top posting? In my case, I answer top posting,
but I might mark thread up, wait a bit and go on answering other messages
instead and some point later if there's no reply from others. Then I might
answer when I have time...
So in all, I prefer people posting inline. I think I must be getting old
because I don't bother nag about posting "proper" way, each for their own.
Just that I might put off a while my answer, depending way people post ;)
