I am impressed that you thought of doing this--creating a technical 
solution to a social problem. Yes, perhaps it can help keep the 
discussions down. But there are still issues: the code would have to be 
integrated with mail clients, and mail not fitting the bottom-posting 
standard would go into archives.

Did you consider recursion in the algorithm?
