A lot of Linux mailing lists have that policy. Especially if it is high volume or has a large subscriber base. The idea is that someone can read a single email and understand it without having to bounce all over the place.
What still always makes me laugh is the people who are so emphatic about top vs. bottom posting.
(someone even had a clever .sig showing the flow of top posting and how "backwards" it is)
But honestly, we humans have remarkable brains that let us put back together the conversation in either order.
Is it really *that* hard? Maybe for some.
