Top posting doesn't solve this, unless you're implying top posting
with no previous messages trimmed. If this is what you're implying you
need to compare apples-to-apples and assume the bottom-posted emails
will have no previous messages trimmed as well.

If this is the case, the bottom posting still wins as it has the
entire conversation history _in order_
