Thanks; pushed.

Sed has two buffers - the pattern space (which gets printed for every
line of input unless it is empty) and the hold space (which is used for
scratch work).
'/^!/ {

For all lines that start with !, append a newline and that line into the
hold space, then delete the line from the pattern space (so skip
printing ! lines the first time through).

On the last line, print the line like normal, then exchange pattern and
buffer spaces, remove the extra leading newline that got put in the hold
space on the first ! line, then print all the deferred ! lines.

I don't blame you for asking - sed's got some pretty arcane (but cool)
features.
