I'm with Ian here, as the list owner.  There's more important things to 
waste cycles on than top-vs-bottom-posting.  Consider the content of the
message, not the layout.  

As it is, I strip all the list posts down to 7-bit ASCII (for the most part)
and remove attachments.  In fact, the relevant line for this list in my
aliases.malman file looks like:

rescue: "|/usr/bin/demime - |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post rescue"

NAME
       demime - Removes mime attachments and other cruft from e-mail

SYNOPSIS
        demime [-d] [relay |-] quiet


DESCRIPTION
       There are two major features of demime - mime removal and advertising
       signature removal.

(actually looking for a modern equivalent of demime, as I think I had to
 compile it from source the last time I reinstalled..)
