It frequently turns out to be true as well. On many occasions I have  
answered a question only to have someone top-post an answer to me.

I only top-post:

(a) on forwarding, where it is the conventional thing to explain if  
needed at the top.
(b) on a certain newsgroup, when my response is to a message by a  
particular user who has a screenreader not designed to handle  
conventionally constructed followups.
(c) on another family of mailing lists I am on where, because of the  
same reason as in (b), it is "the done thing". I rarely post to that  
family of lists for that reason.
