Yes it does John, I quote:

If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
enough text of the original to give a context. This will make
sure readers understand when they start to read your response.
Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the
postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a
response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context
helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!"

But you just put your reply at the top, leaving the entire thread under
it :/
just some quotes:
"Top-posting means that you a) have no respect for me as a reader, b)
did not think what you were doing but blindly followed the (bad) default
of your MUA, or c) both. The d) you did it on purpose just because, I do
not even want to contemplate, as it means you deliberately painted
yourself a blithering idiot."
