'top posting' is appropriate sometimes. I use it sometimes when I
need to leave the whole post I'm responding to intact, unlike in this
response where I appropriately only need to include quotes that I'm
addressing. I move my sig up under my response when top posting to
signal that I've not added anything below and to try an' save readers
from scrolling down needlessly.
What's considered much worse by many is leaving pages of the
original post plus others reponses (often refered to as 'obsolete
quotes'), and then adding your response on the bottom where it's often
out of context to the original subject or even the the last comments
above your response.
The issue with top posting is that a few people don't like it, and
some over use it. With HTML or anything but plain text, it's nothin
but abuse and/or ignorance of netiquette and net conservation.
