I disagree. I think that top-posting is MOST appropriate when forwarding
a message. If I forward a message, I am sending it to someone who wasn't
previously part of the conversation, therefore it makes sense to preface
the message with a short introduction ("Please take a look at the
following and respond to John for me" or "John sent me this, I thought
you might enjoy it"). It gives the message some context. If you
bottom-post or interleave-post a forwarded message, then the recipient
starts reading a message which is not addressed to them and which may
make no sense without your comment.
In short, top-post for forwarded messages, no top-posting for replies.
