top vs. bottom posting have been mentioned multiple times on edk2-devel;
it's just a fact that most corporate email environments don't support
bottom posting at all.

I'm unhappy about it (obviously), but it's an uphill battle. Sometimes
the poster would actually *like* to bottom post, but the tooling (which
may not be their own choice) gets in their way.

I suggest always scrolling to the bottom, or at least until you see a
signature.

Thanks,
Laszlo
