In short, for most of the 35 or so years of the internet, top posting,

do is trim away anything not relevent and reply in context.
More specifically, after trimming the cruft one should reply directly
below the quoted text. Traditionally speaking. Some lists are
particular about this. This one seems to be all over the place. I
try to reply below, but if I'm chiming in after 4 or 5 zillion other
people have mangled the thread I'll just put the reply wherever it's
convenient and hope everyone finds it.
Traditional:
A: Because it breaks up the sequence of the discussion.
Q: Why?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What's the most annoying thing in Internet discussions?
:-)
But, whichever way one posts, failure to trim unnecessary quoted
material is aggravating and rude.
