When you reply to a message part by part. You should (must!) use top posting. But when you are replying for a whole post as one. It's better to post without including the original whole post at the top. Only summary or part of the original text makes a netiquette not the whole post including signature and advertisements. That makes the email impossible to find.
For example, for this reply I added RE: in the subject and writing against the concept as a whole. Therefore I do not need to quote anything. However, if you take a look at a previous discussion we've made on this list titled "Hardy bitterness". You'll see what is bottom posting ;). Bottom or top posting does not mean quote the whole message, rather put the right context and reply on that only. Neither top nor bottom posting with whole message is nice. :( -- M.
