I agree.

To quote the late Barrett Wendell, a Harvard professor of rhetoric, "the preposition is a very poor word to end a sentence with."

Furthermore...

Guy in a cowboy hat approaching guy in a Harvard sweater.
Texan: Excuse me, son, do you know where the library's at?
Harvard Guy: At Harvard, we do not end our sentences in prepositions.
Texan: Sorry -- do you know where the library's at, a*****e?

The first time I saw that kind of thing was in one of the Guardians of the Flame books (Joel Rosenberg), and I exploded laughing.
