Is that meant to imply that using OE makes one lazy? Or that lazy
people tend to use OE?
EVERYONE'S cursor starts at the top of the post. Everyone who posts
correctly (read: the way it's been done since before you heard of
Usenet) starts out the same - it just seems as if some of us know how
conversations work, while others wait until the other person has
finished everything he's going to say, then reply to everything at
once. Whether they post that at the top or the bottom makes no
difference - either way makes no sense.

Starting at the bottom is ridiculous. You seem to be of the
(misguided) impression that the only two choices are top posting and
bottom posting.
