Why top posting leaves everyone at a loss...

No one knows why Bill has responded as such. It could be the answer to
a variety of questions. <insert the questions you want Bill to answer

Now, if you like, you could read everything below and attempt to
decipher how others have properly responded, but most folks are lazy, so
they wont. Just exploiting an example. If you disagree with me, great.
Most likely you, have been assimilated by M$ or AOL [1]. (Bet you wont
see the link to [1] either!)
