It's an alien posting style to me, to be honest, since I work at a law firm where absolutely nobody does bottom posting, so I understand the resistence to it.  At work, I need to see the most recent message at the top because otherwise I have to sometimes scroll for pages before I get to the meat of the post/instructions/ etc.  That can be really annoying.

I don't even use it normally in my usual correspondence but most of the other list groups I'm on are very informal and are much smaller than these ones are.
