Right. Its true that when I was at a fairly large corporate, I was not told:
"Please always top post!"
What I was very gently and super politely told was:
"Please dont delete mail context"
Then you were told that by someone who does not understand email.
You seem to be cocksure who is right.
Im just curious who you think it is :-)

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!
RFC1855 is the PEP8 of posting online :)
