Since you have replied to each of my points *below* what I had written,
you proved my point quite nicely.

You are correct. Top-posting is about being lazy and ignoring
conventions of language.
Your reply BELOW mine (correct-bottom posting) proves my point.

Ah yes, you appear to have opted to snip all the points and avoid
them. Typical behaviour of a top-post whiner.

styles that other people prefer.
