A major reason for the revulsion towards top-posting is that top-posters 
usually quote absolutely everything in the thread.

Bottom posting makes the most sense when people trim the text that is quoted. 
If the cursor automatically goes to the bottom, many bottom-posters will 
likely fall into the habit of not trimming quotations.

I've got Kmail set up to start with the cursor at the top, but without any 
newlines inserted. I then quickly scroll down the message, deleting 
irrelevant quotes, until I get to the bottom. In most cases, this process 
only takes a few seconds.
