I've always been writing on top - including the previous messages below my reply for years now, which I now assume was a byproduct of working as an IT consultant as a secondary job. It feels so unnatural for me to scroll way down to the bottom of a previous message - or a string of messages - and then write my response there; but if that is correct etiquette outside of tech support, and for mailing lists, then I will try my hardest to not top post anymore.
