Top-posting is evil ;-)

On a relatively quiet list (like this one) it isn't too bad, but on 
a very busy list it is extremely annoying having to read the answer 
first and then scroll down to find out which of the day's 600 
messages you were actually responding to!

Several popular email clients automatically place the cursor at the 
top of the incoming message in the reply window - so the uninitiated 
assume that they should start typing where the cursor is. Actually, 
the placement of the cursor at the top is a feature that is intended 
to make it easy for you to scroll down the incoming message, 
snipping out irrelevant parts before you type your reply at the bottom.
