Only if the third person isn't also top-posting.

I don't. I post however fits in with the forum/newsgroup/email
correspondence that I'm participating in. My point is only that "don't top
post because it's backwards" is not a good argument - it fails to
communicate what's wrong with top posting or that the "right" way isn't
full quoting and posting underneath.
