It seems to me that the only problem is that
bottom-posting clashes with how

(bottom-posting) is an outdated practice that needs to die and allow mailing
lists to move with the times.
We've had this same discussion recently on our hackspace mailing list.
One of the key issues as well is that some email clients,
particularly webmail ones, make anything other than top-posting
difficult. I actually prefer reading without top-posting,
particularly when (as Ralf pointed out) the quotes are trimmed to the
salient points, but it's also awkward to do that on GMail in the
browser and next to impossible to achieve on an Android phone.
Best wishes,
Neil
