Possibly. Although even if you top-post it would still be preferable if you
trimmed extraneous material from your messages, such as the following:

I had hoped that mailing list software would have fixed this. It should be
relatively simple for mailing list soiftware to recognise its own footer
material and not add yet another copy each time the messages are quoted.
