Quite a self-centered attitude.

The purpose of bottom posting is to permit the community to jump in when thyey have interest/time/expertise. Thus permitting the original poster to gain the most experience or feedback.

This is the opposite approach of an email, in which the communicants (or combatants) are expected to be familiar with the subject matter and simply include it for verification or reference.
