As you rightly point out, everyone has an opinion. I think that the convention varies from community to community.
The Outlook and Exchange clan seems to like top-posting. The old USENET / Unix folks see to prefer bottom posting.

and for fun : https://www.google.com/search?q=top+posting+considered+harmful

Best advice here is to get guidance from the moderator and failing that - the community consensus. In either case, consistency is better than alternative - which I admit - I have done here. 

Since this is a meta discussion, I will refrain from responding further to limit list traffic. Private comments are welcome.

There is a certain amount of humor intended here.

Sincerely,
