A preference for top-posting usually seems to come from people who've only
ever seen bottom-posting done badly. As a matter of etiquette, one should
always take the time to edit out irrelevant or superceded quoted material,
and intersperse one's own comments at appropriate places.

If they want audit trails for how decisions were made (e.g. for regulatory
reasons) they should probably be investing in proper email archiving
solutions anyway.

Best Regards,
Alex.
