For what it's worth, I am (almost) exclusively a bottom/inline poster
and I agree that the most logical place to put the cursor is at the
top.  

The reason is that even in bottom/inline(/middle) posting, you generally
reply to the points in the original email from top to bottom.  Also,
with this style of quoting, it is much more important to prune the
quoted text than with top posting, so even if you the cursor starts at
the bottom, you should eventually make your way up to the top anyway.
