If there aren't several questions that you need to address, then you
reply at the TOP. Why make the other user scroll all the way to the
bottom of the message to read your reply?

I'm sorry to say, but this is not a bug and will therefor remain the way
it is currently. Also, seeing as how no one else has complained  -
changing the behaviour would cause confusion and possibly anger a much
larger user base.

If you feel so strongly about only replying at the bottom, then just
scroll to the bottom or hit the "End" key which will do it for you.

As Larry explains, these options are available for text editing (not
just html editing) to control paragraph wrapping.
