Yes. When I signed on with CentOS it was explicitly written into my
requirements that *I* be the only 'official' ass. Yes, a non-compete
clause is involved, so can all just STEP OFF!
:-P

Haha, thanks for the humorous remark! It has been said that "If you get
too serious, you'll spoil all the fun."
I imagine that most of the folks subscribed are System Administrators,
Engineers and Architects. I'd also leap to the unproven assumption that
the majority are overworked, underpaid, stressed, and stuff like that.
If that doesn't make for a bunch of terse, grumpy, and otherwise
friendly-and-cheer-challenged folks at times, well, you're better folks
than myself, which, admittedly, isn't all that difficult, and a little
humor can go a long way.
Personally, I'd prefer top posting, I don't have an issue reading
messages staged that way. To me, scrolling down to see history makes a
great deal of sense, as it means I see the most pertinent portion of a
message first. (Arguably pertinent, however if it wasn't for the most
recent content, the message wouldn't have been sent.) However, I don't
care enough to make an issue out of it, while some obviously have strong
preferences to bottom posting. What is REALLY not helpful is top,
bottom, top, bottom posting, and thus I go with the norm.
Either way, while building and sending escalatory non-main-topic content
(ie, flame wars) are as traditional as bottom posting, I think we'd be
better off without.
