I just wanted to add that I think it is hard for Gmail users to see the need
to bottom post because they just get used to Gmail's  "Conversations
Feature" which shows all the emails with the same subject in a list. If I
want to see what others have posted, I just look at the previous emails in
the list.

I was very confused as to why top-posting would be such an issue until I
remembered that all email clients don't have this feature.

For this reason, I vote for a forum. I think issues such as this one justify
it's need.
