Bottom posting is more "correct". Been that way for years. The problem is: 
most readers do not jump to the end, so effectively, the top becomes the 
bottom (where replies appear). I believe it was Outlook that began focusing 
the top of the message and inserting replies there. Bottom posting is much 
more correct, but with today's software, is not the default, sadly. So, top 
posting has become the de facto standard/default in almost all email products.
