I prefer bottom posting as I can jump in to a message of a thread I was 
previously ignoring, read down it and get the gist of it. The one reason I 
heard for top posting was for people reading on small handheld devices (ie. 
phones), who didn't want to have to scroll through a lot of text to get to 
the new comment(s). Part of that argument goes away when people learn to 
properly edit messages before adding their comments and hitting send.
