You snip a text and keep important stuff so people can better understand your answer. With bottom posting, you have the text in the normal read order. I am a tech support engineer and all i can say is that top posting is very irritating, i receive like 400 e-mail a day... Reading long posts reverse is a nightmare. You may have reason to resist bottom posting like using Outlook (which has many default like not respecting anything: Standards, posting order, etc). But that's an entire other story...
