Indeed, have those complaining (on either side of the fence) ever read Gulliver's Travels? And just which end do you open your boiled eggs? "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." — Naguib Mahfouz ----- Original Message ----

excerpt from the very beginning of the 'netiquette page':
----------------- Note: It is pointless to post an email that only warns about posting style.
New openSUSE email users will feel unwanted and go away, and that is exactly what we don't want. If you don't want to read an email, then just skip it. If you want to answer, but prefer the posting style described below, state that at the end and link to this article for explanation. -----------------
that being said, there are valid reasons to use top or interleaved posting generally; exceptions may apply.
IMO it's best to quote and post in a way that makes it easy to understand what's gong on, avoiding unnecessary clutter.
