I am on lists for almost every bit of software I use and the standard is 
definitely to bottom post.

One of my pet peeves however is people who reply to emails with just 
'bottom post please' without providing any actual help.

That said it is the only way to go and I just do it everywhere 
regardless of what the other person is doing.

The only exception is on those support emails where it says 'please post 
your reply above this line'
