I think it's definitely the Right Way To Go.
Put the New Material at the TOP.
Top- or bottom-posting is almost religious. Do you read your books
backward, starting at the last page and continuing to the first? No, you
need prior context to understand what comes after and that's what bottom
posting gives. The biggest flaw in bottom posting is that people don't trim
adequately to maintain a context yet keep the message size reasonable
(unlike me wink). That's an even bigger flaw in top posting: no one ever
trims anything. I install add-ins to both Outlook and my newsreader that
reformat the default top posting into a bottom post. Even were I to not use
these add-ins, I'd take the time to reformat manually to a bottom post.
