it's not top-posting. it's forwarding some information with your own
comments pre-pended. an entirely different thing...and, in fact, an
appropriate way to highlight the fact that you are making a comment, not
just vacuously forwarding the info.

i get tired of repeating the same things. it's easier to just summarise
it with "top-posting is evil" (in any case, it's a true assertion).
