Also I would like the lists maintainers of the list to take a stand in this. I really would like to know what your opion is on this, even if it is "I don't care".
As there is no official statement, I guess the maintainers do not care. I can do better things with my life and free time then to just scroll up and down on a mailing list.
While I do agree with you on all your points, please consider that there is no "list maintainer". I bet you a non-belgian beer, that the first post after a post like "I'm the list maintainer from SUSE, and I would very much like you to do the following" would be a "so, you only *say* it's "open"SUSE, but in fact you want to retain full control as you just proved" posting.
It is a pity that topposting, something that was introduced by Microsofts Outlook and Outlook Express has such a following with Linux people.
Actually, I might be wrong on the historical details, but as far as I recall THIS WAS INTRODUCED BY WEBTV !!!! AROUND THE SAME TIME USENET SUFFERED FROM THE AOL-INVASION !!!!!!!!!! Rasmus -- A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
