The cursor is likely positioned at top so you can be polite in starting 
your reply by using "posters_name" or Dear ....
At which time you can then cursor down, deleting irrelevant content to 
your reply, and breaking up the message replying inline to the relevant 
segments (such as by this posts intro and reply) which has always been the 
actual real good netizen method, bottom posting or no beter then top 
posting. In years gone by you would be chastised for that as well as top 
posting as any ol timers here would be well aware of.

No arguments there.
