Well, put it this way. This is a high-traffic list, so most people will 
have to be selective on which posts they read and respond to. Some posts 
are likely to be ignored, be that because they have poor subject lines 
("Help!"), are poorly formatted (e.g. choice of small fonts or poor 
colour contrast in HTML mail making it difficult to read even with a 
mailer than handles HTML), or are difficult to follow because of poor 
quoting or ordering (both of which are problems with top-posting). So by 
following the conventions of the list, a question is more likely to get 
answered.
