To bottom post in gmail:

- Type your message.
It's better to move through the original message trimming out parts that aren't relevant, and then inserting your replies inline, rather than just jumping to the end and bottom-posting under a fullquote. To this end, starting the cursor at the top is actually the sensible thing, though it shouldn't be done with a space left at the top as Gmail does it.
But, really, be strong, be brave, resist the temptation. Stand up to the bullies. There's actually nothing objectively wrong with top-posting except that the "old-timers" don't like it.
Personally, I think top-posters should be executed by lethal injection (or perhaps an alternate means such as a firing squad), but unfortunately the laws of some countries block this sensible proposal.

It never ceases to amaze me how the most logic, rational people (to wit, computer geeks) can be the most illogical and narrow-minded about the most bizarre of subjects.
But that's enough. We're way off topic!
