You missed the point. The problem is never editing. You wouldn't have to scroll if the message were properly edited. Top posting encourages not editing. Proper etiquette, or care for clarity, would encourage inline commenting of the form <context> <response> <context> <response> <ad infinitum> On short messages, this becomes bottom posting.
