I don't think bottom posting is the best way. In-Line posting is most often mentioned as the way to go. You reply to what you are reading right after it is written. This is good for multiple reasons. You can jump into the conversation at anytime and know what is going on, Mailing list web archives are much easier to get information out of, and when inline posting you usually are better about trimming messages, which saves bandwidth. Figure if you trim 10k worth of a message off it doesn't sound like much, but you get a mailing list with 1000 members, you have saved the mailing list provider 10MB worth of transfer for that one message.
