Quoting Andre Truter <andre.truter@gmail.com>:
No, I am blaming the user. People are just lazy and inconsiderate.
I suppose this is somewhat true. Yes, users at times can be idiots. (I have plenty of Windows-using friends whom I can't teach to be security-wise, no matter how many times I go over the lecture. :) ) However, I'd never heard of the difference between top and bottom-posting. I've been on a few lists (I haven't been in Linux that long - almost a year and a half - I'm learning as much as I can), but no one ever made an issue out of the two. It was fine to see the reply and be done with it. I guess for me (and an unknown number of others), it wasn't being "lazy and inconsiderate", but a lack of knowledge of such ettiquete. Armed with this quick (and somewhat testy) discussion, I shall top-post no more.... -Chris
