Please elaborate. What "valid reasons" do you have to go against all of

I've yet to see a good reason for top posting, anywhere, ever.

A few things to consider:

1. Pan doesn't prevent you from top posting, it merely warns you about it.

(Nor should it be, since things like top posting should be discouraged as
much as possible.)
