You're not the only weird one.  To me, the most recent comments are 
what's most important, and if I'm interested in the background that led 
up to it I can scroll down for it.  And similarly, I find bottom posting 
a bit annoying, as I'm often forced to scroll down to read what the most 
recent commenter wrote.  (Though, obviously, that's really an outgrowth 
of bottom-posters violating the "trimming" rule, rather than a problem 
with bottom-posting itself.)

Personally I don't really care that much which way people post, but as 
there's a good number of very vocal "bottom posting police" :-) types in 
the FOSS community that often raise a ruckus when you top post, I 
generally just try to conform and bottom post in the interests of 
keeping the peace.  :-)
