Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet
and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines
being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting
we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to
access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these
people by flouting the mailing list guidelines.
This is an example of top-posting
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-January/070494.html
There are legitimate newbies who top-post because they know no
different and can acquaint themselves with the mailing list guidelines
at http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16
Maybe the guidelines can updated to say trimming of emails as well and
maybe link to examples on Wikipedia of top-posting and bottom-posting.
Newbies aside, there are guys still top-posting who have ignored polite
offlist messages not to top-post. Its not the time to be nannying people
over how to behave on mailing list.

Vandaman.
