Thanks for asking!
Top posting is (still) strongly discouraged. The preference is to reply below the text to which you are replying, while avoiding quoting the entire message and replying at the bottom.
I suspect that one reason top posting is strongly discouraged is that it correlates strongly with failure to trim. With top post, quite often most of the quotations will be boilerplate that should almost always be removed.
