What if those of us that know the value of bottom posting
would simply reply as I have done above when replying to
someone that top posts?

Variations of the initial line could be
a. See reply below... this is a bottom post list.
b. See reply below... this is a bottom post list!
c. See reply below... this is a BOTTOM post list.
d. See reply below... this is a BOTTOM POST LIST!
