Well, since you posted it here....

In general, though, I think bottom-posting should be universally utilized. For example, in order to read that, I had to go to the bottom, scan up to find the start of the first message, read that, scan up, skip the first message header I got to, start reading at the next one, etc.

If bottom posting had been used, I could have simply started at the top and read to the bottom.

You can do whatever you want to, obviously, but it's much nicer to everyone involved to use proper bottom posting in almost every case. I think that it should be taught in schools, and software vendors who encourage top posting should be taken out and shot.
