I'd rather snip than bottom post.
Too much stuff to go through same as middle posting.

Depends what you want to say. If you have a comment on something in
the thread, then it's usually easier to understand if you leave a bit
of the original. Your example above stands the test because it's
self-contained. The thing about top-posting is that it's generally a
sign that the poster doesn't _care_ what anybody else has said: it's
rather like those disconcerting people you meet occasionally who, in
a conversation about rural bus services, suddenly throw in a
heartfelt remark about coastal erosion.
