I have only been on list where top post replies occured.
Occasionally someone didn’t post at top, and usually there were a zillion
forwards to wade through to finally find the reply,now that I do hate and just
delete it cause it’s not important enough to me to have to search for a reply.

It's sort of a habit. Most of the mailing lists don't like
replies at the top which is true for me, also.
After all, we have to listen to a message we've already
read before the reply.
I even wrote a filter in perl to remove any lines
beginning with the > symbol so I didn't have to listen to them.
Not out of rudeness, but just to speed things along a bit.
Some lists have a strict policy about this and others
couldn't care less.
Most of the lists dealing with issues regarding people
who are blind encourage top-posting and most of the groups whose
members are not blind complain if you top-post.
If the message covers lots of topics, I will answer
in part as the message goes along. It's a good point and I don't
know the truth about what is proper.

Martin,************
just wondering why your replies are not at the top of emails instead of
bottom?
I sometimes have to give my pw on the app store both on mac and my XR,I
like it this way cause one never really knows if keeping logged in all
time is the best thing,I’m sure there are various opinions on that,but
it works for me.
