That is the main reason for not top posting.
If I have not been following the thread carefully, I will not know
what the top-posted response is referring to. Even if I read the
entire post below the reply, I still will not know what the reply is
referring to.
The correct way is to snip out all the old material from the original
post leaving enough to establish context, and then post your replies
in the correct places so the reader can follow what you are saying.
