I know the feeling, it is maddening!
Maybe gnus could do its part in preventing people from top-posting,
just like it prevents people from posting lines without subjects or
lines >= 79 characters. Maybe a warning could be issued if there is
no original text below at least one quoted part (ignoring signature).
I think that basically defines top-posting.
