I think the main reason that people make a point of mentioning it is 
because in a mailing list you don't want a mix of top posters and bottom 
posters within a thread (take this one as an example).

The main devs here prefer bottom posting, and I think that is mostly 
because it's conventional in internet posting history (see 
http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/archive_announce_20.html).

Correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but I believe top posting was 
introduced (to the mass public anyway) by Microsoft in Outlook Express, 
and this was much later on in history.
