Wellll, not really.  If you bottom post, on your way down through the
text to which you are replying, you can delete that which is not
needed in the reply.  (Not "you" personally, but anyone.)

Going back and proofreading a response is also a good idea - makes it
easier to see if what you said is legible....

And I often forget that last step, too.

Hi :)

Yes, "on your way down" and "delete that which is not needed" and "Going back 
and proofreading" do all take time and require effort that top-posting doesn't 
require.  you might only have a 'small' amount of emails to deal with and 'ample 
time' but office workers get hassled if they 'waste time' in that sort of way 
unless they are sufficiently high-up in which case they are not going to follow 
rules set by some outsider that has no impact on their pay-packet.
Regards from
Tom :)
