I guess it depends on your style. If you respond to the entire message,
then putting at the top makes sense, because then you can read the
response quickly, and read the history below if you want.
If I want to read the whole message you're replying to, I can open up
the mesasge you're replying to in my newsreader.

But if you want to respond point-by-point, then going below makes sense.
You can respond to each point, then have your main point at the bottomm of
the message.
Who would do that!
Anybody who is well-educated on how to use newsgroups?
My email clients always put quoted text below. However, my news client
always quotes above.

Below/above what?
- the cursor?
- one or more blank lines?
- your signature?
- the message you typed, after you hit the send button?
I for one would like to see newsreaders that will, at least as a pref,
put the cursor above the quoted text and blank lines/sig below. This
sets the user ready to work down the message, trimming it down and
inserting reply text where it fits. See
