The other day I inadvertently bottom-posted to a relatively small
mailing list of (mostly non-tech) friends. One (of the tech variety)
responded so:

"David,  It's over.  We lost.  The world settled on doing it the wrong
way.  You did it the wrong way with us, for a decade.  Remember?  When
you reply-bottom now, all you do is mess up the threading.

Condolences,
Andrew"

He's probably right.
