I disagree.  Posting underneath makes me crazy.  Posters still forget to 
trim and you wind up scrolling down indefinitely.  Also, since the 
heading is the same, the reader should know what the topic is and my 
preference is to see immediately what the poster is saying, except of 
course when responses are intermixed...like I'm doing here.   :)

True.  But I've always thought that "good form" was top posting or at 
least very close to the top posting.
