Precisely.

It's for lazy users. Lazy because they need previous correspondance
available for "convenient reference", and lazy because the whole
top-posting stupidity started through a well-known virus propagation
engine pretending to be an MUA that infests most desktop PCs today
placing the text cursor above the (sometimes) quoted material in a
reply and users subsequently considering that it's too much effort to
put the format right.

Real programmers don't write in FORTRAN.  FORTRAN is for pipe stress
freaks and crystallography weenies.  FORTRAN is for wimp engineers who
wear white socks.
