I don't intend to use Gmail, so I have no personal experience. However I 
don't think that the Gmail client has a preference how to post. Just 
that the cursor sits at the top doesn't mean that you are supposed to 
put your reply to that position. If you read the Ubuntu mailing list 
guidelines (I posted the link earlier), you will see that you should 
remove unnecessary text in your reply, so it should be quite useful to 
start at the top of the quoted text, where your cursor probably is 
already. Then move the cursor down below the part of the text you want 
to reply to. And on your way down you can easily remove unnecessary text 
from the quote.

I know that top-posting is also the standard for business mail, but that 
doesn't mean that it is useful for mailing lists. :)

OTOH, nobody will prevent you from top-posting, but then please expect 
that some people who are annoyed about that behaviour may not help you.
