It would be much easier to accommodate that request if Amy of the email clients I use permitted me to do so. My Android phone does not permit doing so in any way whatsoever. Microsoft Outlook permits bottom-posting only for plain ASCII messages; a flaw in the HTML editor prevents doing so with HTML messages. Both support not quoting the thread at all, but IMHO that's even worse than top-posting.
I agree that top-posting is bad, but short of switching MUA (technically impossible) and declining to use my smartphone for email (yeah, right), I fear this is another aspect of social behaviour that is being relegated to the dustbin of history due to changing (not improving) technology. As are mailing lists themselves, albeit at a much slower rate. Complaining about top-posting given today's dominant MUAs is about as useful as complaining that you don't have an automatic fax document retrieval system... Remember those? :-) (With more and more people using email exclusively on mobile devices, I foresee this getting worse, not better.) I'd rather hand-code my firewalls in assembler than use a web-based discussion forum.
