Didn't this whole thread start, because some people (I)
top-posted?

It has continued to its present length of nearly fifty posts after
you said:

Could someone explain me, what are "top- and bottom posting"
styles?

Which is the most long thread on this list right now? :D

If Debian had an award for Most Inane Question of the Year yours
would most definitely be well in the running based on the Search
Engine Test. Applying a few of the other criteria the judges might
consider:

Does it help the person who started the thread?

I think that it did.

Does it add value to the topic in the subject header?

I'm not sure, probably.

Does having it labelled [OT] make it more acceptable?

I didn't label this. This was some other thread at first :).

Does the poster appear to be wearing a trolling costume?

I don't think so.

you can anticipate being a winner.
