It is equally tedious, time wasting and annoying (not to mention 
frustrating) to have to read a long serial post in reverse order (or 
worse if people both top and bottom post) just because some people are 
too damned lazy/ignorant to put their reply in sequential order.

Really!  I think you're pushing the limits. This is outrageous, fancy 
asking people to do more than add "me too".  :-)
