No, it isn't the primary point, but it does create some momentary confusion. If I don't know what you're talking about, I have to look at the bottom of your post in order to get an idea of what you're referring to. If I am not used to your way of top posting, then I may not see the quote and have to read through previous posts, thus removing the point in quoting in the first place.
Top posting on forums is not the norm, and if people aren't used to it, it just makes issues.
