I disagree very strongly with this.  You're effectively saying that your time 
writing the email is more important than all the hundred or so other people 
that are subscribed to the list.  This may be ok for private communication, 
but it simply not acceptable for a list with more than a few subscribers.

If requiring bottom posting forces you (or anyone else) to proofread your 
email again before hitting send then IMHO it can only be a good thing.
