If top posting is so bad, why does the cursor default to the top when
creating a response?

You can set it so that replies are started above or below the quote. OE
defaults to the top, others may default to differently. The only thing
worse than top or bottom posting are the ones who don't have anything
better than to complain about it.

Absolutely, positively correct. The only worse thing is the complaining
about it.

Where would you LIKE it to default?

And have you ever heard of Ctl-End?

Does MS force MVP's to take the special "Redmondian logic"
course when they brainwash you?
