Huh? Not sure what you mean. In fact, if anything, your statement
adds weight to the argument AGAINST top posting. By quoting the
question and then answering it immediately below, you make it easier
to revisit your post at some point in the furture and still get the
gist of what you're saying.

Your missing the point. Good posting nettiquette requires that
you trim all the material from the post you're replying to, except
for what's required for context.
And what about someone reading this thread in 6 months time?
The way you posted the message I'm replying to, it's not easily
obvious what the book analogy you two are discussing is.
