Well, yes, it's true that if you reply ON TOP of the previous email,
then having the signature at the bottom means nobody will ever see it.
On the other hand, replying ON TOP is rather obnoxious in itself as
well. The usual demonstration:
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read
text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in email?
Of course, as has already been pointed out, many corporate
environments have a de-facto requirement to top-post. There's a
certain convenience to it for emails that are one-liners. But for
anything involved... it's annoying.
