Yeah, Gmail and the iPhone/iPod touch built-in e-mail client put the answers on top; it's much more intelligent, because in this way, you don't have to scroll all the way down to see what has been answered.
If we want to cater for people with extremely small screens, maybe, but I think most people read their email on a decent sized computer screen. There should be no need for any of them to scroll down to read this reply. If people are over-quoting, then that's another issue entirely. Even if you do have a small screen, Gmail hides quoted text by default, do other clients not?
Google will find you numerous explanations of why top-posting is a bad idea, so I won't bother explaining it again here.
