You do know how to move the cursor, don't you?

I'm going to assume this is a rhetorical question.

Starting with the cursor at the top shouldn't encourage you to top-post, it should encourage you to move down through the quoted text, deleting unwanted context and adding your response in line in each section.

OK, let's look at the possibilities:

Policy: leave the cursor at the top
        User wants to top-post: starts typing
        User wants to bottom-post: has to scroll before typing
        User wants inline comments: has to scroll before typing
Policy: put the cursor at the bottom:
        User wants to top-post: has to scroll before typing
        User wants to bottom-post: starts typing
        User wants inline comments: has to scroll before typing
Which of the two policies is more conducive to top-posting?

None of the above. The choice is all up to you. The policies don't determine the location of what you post any more than they determine the content.
