bg:

That is an astonishing piece of nonsense verbiage. The place to which
you are directing your post does not have the slightest influence
on how easy or how difficult top or bottom posting might be.
Your emailer reply edit function works exactly the same whether
you are sending your email to a single individual or to a list.

And it works the way it does, positioning the cursor at the
top of the message being replied to, so as to encourage you to
snip out the irrelevant portions of that message on your way
down to starting your reply. The positioning of the cursor
there does not mean that that is where you start your reply.

Simply because you don't like to hear it, that doesn't make it untrue.
