Whether you top post or not is irrelevant really.
Top posting - you have to scroll around to find out what question they are 
answering.
bottom posting - you have to scroll to find the answer.

I'll reply to both top and bottom postings - if I think I've got anything to 
add.

What's more annoying is people who just click reply instead of starting a new 
tread.
