Just on the etiquette front, every organisation I have worked in
consider it bad email etiquette to not top post replies, so what are the
reasons for this mail list to be averse to that methodology (just curious).  
A: Top-posters who don't trim mailing list footers and .sigs.
Q: What's the 2nd most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Steve
