FWIW, my mail client can convert top-posting to bottom-posting
automatically, but it can't trim unnecessary context.  So it would
really be more beneficial if people concentrated on doing the work that
the computer can't, like not including unnecessary context.  Top-posting
is merely an annoyance that can be fixed by pressing a few keys.  (Same
goes for long lines.. I *hate hate hate* them, but they are fixed with a
quick press of "W w", so there's no need to complain about them.)
