I am fully in favour of top posting. The current way in which most of you reply makes me have to go through the entire quoted mail, all older mails, links, etc just to ensure that I donot miss out some reply embedded in the middle of a long thread. Top posting (like this), on the other hand, ensures that every thing i say is read, no possibilty of anyone missing part of my posting.
I am however in favour of posting in middle, since it simplifies the life of the people want to help. We dont have to mentions about what we are replying. For example in my other post (proFTP ...) I have asked 2 questions, if I were answering it then I would prefer to answer the two questions under each of those topics. If I am writting to my friends and relatives I too prefer top posting since we already know what we are mentioning.

Even though top posting is a very irritating thing most of the times, it is OK somethimes. e.g. when what you have to say is related to the Subject but not to the matter in the post i.e. when you dont /need/ to quote the OP. But I entirely agree with you on the matter of snipping
