I find neither of my two previous responses to this email, one top-posted, the
other bottom-posted, 'insulting':

Because I chose to trim my response first, either tip or bottom-posting fully
displays in one window with no need for scrolling in any reasonable desktop
mail client - you simply start reading where there is no indentation.

On a portable (phone) the entire message may or may not display on a single,
no scroll, window, so top posting seems appropriate for that audience.

On auxiliary displays (iWatch) top-posting is a clear winner.

I'll top-post, but I'm aware that may limit my audience, rub some people wrong
- as the man once said 'you can't please everyone so you've got to please
yourself." [0]
