Hiya,
Of course, this is an e-mail list. I prefer to read it as an nntp group
via gmane. So, in e-mail top posting (for whatever reason) is the norm,
while, in nntp land (usenet), top posting is frowned upon.
Within an organization, or a conversation between 2 or 3 persons it is
not out of bounds to top post since that is a private conversation.
Within an email list top posting is impossible (or nearly so) to follow
for one not reading every single post.
See my other answer to this for references.
I'm reading this list via gmane. Top posting is in or out?
