I won't quibble too much about top posting vs. bottom posting. Personally I 
prefer bottom posting as I can read part of the original message before I read 
the reply.

I will give people points for trimming posts. Too often I've seen a message 
thread on a mailing list where people are just hitting reply, and adding their 
  comments. Next thing you know you wind up with a message of a hundred lines 
or so and a person only adds one or two lines of new text. It makes it hard to 
find out if someone actually added anything new (let alone whether they added 
anything new that was more than an "I agree" type comment which is all some 
people add).
