Heh. Top-posting has its problems too; on the Gene Wolfe mailing list, the saying is "the Increate cries when you top-post." The preferred style there, as in many other environments, is interleaving your comments with the ever-popular-but-kind-of-annoying left-margin greater-than-signs to indicate layers of quotation.
I actually really like that style, other than the rather ugly layered GT signs. It has a unique conversational feel to it, but one where you can interrupt the other at any point without being rude. I have been trying for a few years to push a word I coined for it: "coinscription."
