While I appreciate this urge to be consider of other's feelings, the 
general ire aroused by top-posting is certainly not a new phenomenon, 
nor the prohibition of it anything new.  I may be younger than most 
of y'all, but I've been on the Internet a disturbingly long time, and 
Usenet netiquette has *always* been contra top-posting.  Yes, people 
do it, just like people use .sigs that aren't McQ, but it's not 
polite/downright inconsiderate in both cases.

I like to read this group through both the website and the email 
digests.  Snipping out material that you're not responding to instead 
of top-posting and just leaving it to hang at the end is very much 
appreciated.  But Neil really said it all already.  Of course, Usenet 
should probably not be your guide if you want to prohibit snarkiness 
and rudeness, though.
