Even though top posting is a very irritating thing most of the times, it is OK somethimes. e.g. when what you have to say is related to the Subject but not to the matter in the post i.e. when you dont /need/ to quote the OP. But I entirely agree with you on the matter of snipping
Well, if you don't need to quote the OP, then don't quote him at all. Putting the OP at the bottom makes it hard for people to reply to your reply. If someone needs to address points brought up by both you and the OP, he'd need to have everything in context, in the correct order. These things are well documented in the usenet posting faq IIRC.
