OK, but I'm sure you understand that we're a community here and that 
your preferences aren't the only ones that count.  (If we're not a 
community, why are we doing this?)  Personally, I'm surprised that top 
posting is the main issue rather than failure to trim the chain of 
messages leading up to the post and changing the topic without changing 
the subject line.  My (personal) ideal post has an accurate subject 
line, a brief record of what was previously said on the subject and by 
whom and then the new content.  Previous and new content would be 
repeated in turn as needed.  Sure, this might increase the effort you 
need to put into the post from one unit to three units.  But if it 
decreases the effort of only ten readers from one unit to half a unit, 
we're ahead and we get more done as a group.
