Yes, I did indeed misunderstand.

As far as e-mail, I disagree. Since the inception of intra-company e-mail,
it has been a common and expected practice to top post when replying. For
example, back in the early 1980s when e-mail was introduced nationally
within the Bell System, instructions to top post when replying to an e-
mail were explicitly given to employees. I know this was common in other
large companies as well.
