On some packages & web interfaces it is worse than that :( For example on the gmail app for Android, it hides the quoted text, so it is far too easy for a newcomer to this forum to not even realise what you meant when you said "scroll to the bottom of the text." To be able to bottom post on such platforms, you need to enable the quoted text, typically and confusingly Google calls this "Respond in line". Having done that, the user can then follow your advice to scroll past deleting on the way. I know this is off topic, but we can help ppl do things the Qubes way if we all try to give them the most detailed advice. Bottom posting reads better, but so many other forums use top posting, and too many apps nudge this behaviour, so we are likely to have to go on explaining this.
