Don't you think that's reading a little too much into it? I mean, some people 
just hit reply and start typing...they aren't driven by some deep rooted 
Freudian issues. Well, maybe they are, but I don't think anybody using Linux 
would really have the degree in that area to make such an observation with 
any validity. j/k

Personally, I prefer inline posting. However, if somebody top posts, no 
biggie. Usually, if the top post is something that *may* contain something 
that interest me, I'll read down. But I find that most top posting really 
doesn't get me interested to read past it.
