It could also be said that it encourages the user to start at the top,
to remove all the cruft, as you go downwards to where you compose your
reply. 

Otherwise the lazy would start at the bottom and just add their
two-cents without removing extraneous text. It's all in the
perspectives. But for someone to say "I top-post because Gmail made me
do it!", has some real problems with the up-arrow / down-arrow keys.
