Sorry for top posting. My phone makes me!
No, it really doesn't. If you have a broken tool, please don't inflict its brokenness on others, especially if you *know* it's broken when you use it.
Top posting isn't that big of an issue. Drop it, please.
No bigger than other problems of poor human-to-human communication. I agree with Eric that it deserves apology, even if you don't think it's a big deal.
Did you actually make a survey of c.l.p users to determine what fraction finds top posting poor human-to-human communication? My guess is that below 31%. From the top of my head only one name comes to mind who thinks top posting is at least sometimes appropriate: GvR. Note: you are free to install software that will automatically delete any post that is top posted and voila a, you will never be bothered again. Why not do that?
