Top posting is typing a reply above another person's message, and leaving
the entire post to which you are repling, whether relevent or not, hanging

Don't be so sure. It really depends on how efficient you want your mesh to
be. PoV-Ray does all of the math for you. Just keep rotating a column of
points with vrotate and connect the columns with triangles. Just like a tile
floor, but in a circle.
