Eh? I've been "top posting" since the very first time I replied in this list, and no-one has ever had a problem with it. Honestly, this is completely personal preference, and there are other people on this mailing list who even use this style... even Huji, Jamie Hari, Jared, Voice of All, and a number of other people top post.
^_^ I don't have my client hide quotes... However, I do have it color the indentation, and also automatically convert the traditional > style text quotes into readable elements. Though I could swear I had an extension to allow me to collapse quotes at some point.

By the way, please don't "top post". Traditionally, replying to messages on mailing lists is done in-line, as Simetrical and I have done.
Of course, intelligent clients like Gmail will hide all the quoted text anyway when you're reading through a conversation, so the distinction should be irrelevant.
