This is so wrong, I feel I don't even need to discuss it further.   
(Not that I use it as an example of "right behavior", but even Gmail  
gets this right.)

I'm going to keep the whole top-posting argument out of this.  That's  
incorrect behavior in its own right.

But even accepting top-posting, the idea that I would potentially have  
to wade through multiple signatures just to figure out the content the  
person is responding to makes this argument a non-starter.

As I have mentioned many times before: signatures are the LEAST  
IMPORTANT information in any e-mail.  You don't need signature  
information 99% of the time.  In the rare case you do, you know where  
to find it - at the very bottom of the message.  This information has  
no business living with the "interesting" part of the message - the  
body.

No.
