    Is there such a thing as a mail reader that will only let you top
    post? I've never seen one. Most do position the cursor at the top
    of the message, but that's the way it should be: you move the
    cursor under the section you are answering and put your reply
    there.

    It is often expressed, a little more crudely, but effectively:

       "Puting your reply at the top, because that's where the cursor
       is, is like shitting in your pants because that's where your
       arsehole is."
