IIRC this is actually what it used to do (I may be wrong). Why it
stopped doing that but didn't go the whole hog and actually put the
cursor at the bottom is something I don't understand. The current
behaviour looks like something no-one is likely to be happy with.

Also, moving the cursor to the bottom can only be done using the mouse,
whereas typing a couple of carriage returns and backing up can be done
with the keyboard, i.e. it's easier to top-post than not.

The insane thing is that it still does this even when you quote
selectively, i.e. when it's even more likely that you want to add
something *after* the quoted material.
