Actually, this wasn't top posting at all. It is an introduction, and
introductions belong before the forwarded message since you logically
want to read the introduction before the forward.

The problem arises when people structure the quotations in a message
backwards, so that the reader has to start at the bottom (or worse, at
a weird place in the middle) in order to understand what they're
reading. This is the default style that Microsoft Outlook encourages,
sadly.
