I think you have the wrong definition of top-posting. It has nothing
to do with the newsreader, and everything to do with the poster. You
did it replying to Mr Lahn. A top-post is where you write your reply
first, then quote what you are replying to afterwards. To use the
(bad) joke:

Top-posting.

What is the most annoying habit on Usenet?

As you can see, it's easier to know what you're reading the answer
to, when you've read the question first.

<snipped top-posted replies>

Furthermore, you should trim the original post, leaving only what
relates to your reply. By doing this, you are far less likely to
ruffle peoples feathers, and prevents the endless chorus of: "Don't
top-post!"

Just passing on some advice,
Mike

Top posting is something that is done by humans not software. OE may
have its faults but dictating the format of news posts is not one of
them.

Not quite. Investigation is child's play if you know where to look for.
In OE press Ctrl+F3 to see the source text of a posting, I press Ctrl+U
in Mozilla/5.0 (and have http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/ to display some more
than the default headers).

I could do that since there is not much to compare, but I will not
(that would waste too much of my time.) The NNTP-Posting-Host header
is the same for both postings. Their authors may be different people,
though, if both use the same proxy server and the network uses IP
address hiding. This nevertheless does not negate their intention,
both postings (and, if existing, both people) act as trolls here.

OE has many nasty bugs but top-posting (and full-quoting) is only your
fault. Newsreaders place the cursor above the quote so that you can
trim the quotes to the necessary parts while you leave the quotes you
are referring to in your answers *below* it. It does it not for the
purpose that you place the answer *before* the "question"!
