Sometimes top posting is OK, sometimes bottom posting, and sometimes
interlaced is tits. Editing out the garbage is always correct.

When I say that bottom posting is the way to go (and if you bother to
check you'll see that close to 100% of the participants here,
including yourself, bottom post), I implicitly include judicious
trimming as part of that. It *is* annoying in the extreme to have to
scroll through a hundred lines of previous messages only to get to a
1-line reply at the bottom.

Can't argue with that. Also hard to find a good reason to top post, but
they do exist I reckon. Unless you are afraid the original message was
not read, there is about no reason to top post, other than laziness (too
lazy or dumb to edit).

Usually it is a broken/misprogrammed Usenet client, or not selecting the
option to put the cursor at the bottom of the previous message, if it
exists.

I am sure they are not scrolling to the top to be annoying.
