There is.

With top posting, it may be, and often is, hard to understand what 
patricular part of previous message(s) author is answering to.

Because of that:

- reading and understanding discussion becomes much harder,

- when author formats message such that his reply is just below the text he 
replies to, he will likely see and re-read it while typing, and really 
reply to it, not to something else that his oppoinent never wrote.
