Incidentally, I'm aware that it may be difficult not to toppost using an 
iThing. At least you're able to reply selectively - select the text you want 
to quote, hit reply, and it will only quote the selection in the reply.

But more important than bottomposting, imo, are proper attributions, so one 
knows who wrote what and in which sequence.

I think interleaved replying - which is incompatible with topposting - helps 
keep focus and avoiding repetition. It also kind of ensures that you read 
what you're replying to.
