He didn't really top-post. He quoted the relevant part of Adrian's
posting and then wrote his reply below that. This is the style I prefer,
because it makes it really clear what one is replying to.

After his reply, he quoted Adrian's posting again, this time completely.
I think this is unnecessary and confusing (you apparently didn't even
see that he quoted something above his reply). But it's not as bad as
quoting everything below the answer (or - as you did - quoting
everything before the answer which I think is even worse: If I don't see
any original content within the first 100 lines or so I usually skip the
rest).
