This is a personal preference; most professional records are kept with the most recent item on top (read: at the front) of a physical file. Even the public library does it that way :)
Most professionals are a loose definition of the term. It depends primarily on the data need though. For archival purposes, you want the data to flow in a meaningful fashion so that people can look up the material and follow it in a logical manner. Most people are just concerned with GIVE IT TO ME NOW, so they want it at the top. Microsoft and other companies producing email clients have reinforced this lazy belief by prepending in the reply. For business emails and such that don't matter, top posting is probably fine. For archived mailing lists, coherent threading is key so that the information can be referenced later. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
