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?
