Exactly. I find that a lot more annoying than top-posting: when top-posting you know you can stop reading the email when you've reached the quoted email conversation (and I use it a lot for work, where I have conversations where people might be copied into halfway through, so it's useful to have the original conversation added for reference). On discussion lists like this, where we all receive all emails, I don't see why people just quote what they're replying to and cut the rest out.
