Q. Does top-posting make sense?
In emails to non-newsgroup people: yes!
I've sent several mails where the receiver doesn't think I've answered
anything (or doesn't read everything) because outlook always top-posts.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt:
" - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
enough text of the original to give a context. This will make
sure readers understand when they start to read your response.
Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the
postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a
response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context
helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!"
But yes, you're sadly right.
