I had to think about that. Since a large number of people do "top post" as
you call it...

I don't think you are right. If you read the original post (and subsequent
replies) top posting allows you to read the reply without going through the
entire history in each and every message. What you may be thinking about is
"snipping" ... truncating the original message and/or previous replies.

I hope you are not advocating cross posting?
