The only time I've seen top-posting required (though there was
nothing about trimming/dropping the content from the bottom) was on
some lists for blind users where they wanted the new content at the
top of the email rather than having to wade through lots of content
they'd heard previously.  The actual context was usually either given
by in-sentence referencing to the topic, or the subject-heading
(blind folks seem to have an incredible memory for things sighted
folks are usually too lazy to remember).
