I'd have to agree with CoJaBo here.  When I'm at work and a discussion goes
on via email for a while, I don't want to have to scroll to the bottom every
time a new comment comes up... If I've been following the discussion, then 
I just want to see what the new comment is without having to scroll to find
it.

My general rule here is:  if the previous discussion is long and my comment 
is short, then I'll top-post.  if the previous discussion is short, or I 
decide to snip and comment on one point, then I'm more likely to reply 
under it (little or no scrolling required).

Either way, I wouldn't consider anybody's preference to be "rude".

Just my opinion,
