No.
If I have been
following the thread, I know what the flow of conversation has been, and
appreciate the most recent reply at the TOP of the message, so I do not
have to scroll through miles of text to find it.
If that is the case, why quote anything at all?
Of course, proper bottom pasting style includes throwing out everything
not directly relevant to a reply.
Anyway, this is not about your personal preferences. Bottom posting is
the accepted norm here and not doing so breaks consistency and I
consider it disrepectful.
