Giving no information about the message you're replying to is
unacceptable and assumes that all readers thread their messages. This
actually annoys me more than top posting does.

One has to chose a point of compromise. No excessive quoting and offer
reasonable information to give the reader some point of reference
other than the position of the message in a thread that the user may
not have displayed depending on their client and depending on their
preferences. This drawback is a big and clear one to see. It's far
more easily dismissed as unacceptable than top posting is.
