Well, since you ask (although I'm not really sure you want to know). Here
are a few nice links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/gey_stv0.htm
http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=top+posting&btnG=S%C3%B6k&meta=

In summary: it is just easier to follow a discussion where you didn't take
part. For example, you find something interesting that was discussed a year
ago. If everybody bottom-replied, you can easily follow the conversation.
