People will never "let go" of it because the brain does not adjust to
top posting no matter how much one is exposed to it.  It's *impossible*
to follow a long top-posted conversation no matter how many I see.  It
would be like learning to read top to bottom then suddenly everyone
switches to writing the first line at the bottom of page.  Do you
honestly EVER think you could get used to it?
