In the spirit of compromise let's say this: Insofar as normal email habits go, top-posting won't go away. Remember, in many cases doing anything sometimes requires doing so for the least common denominator (i.e. (untrained|unaware|stupid|rude) end users top-posting, coding web content for older browsers etc.) For the purposes of this list, I shall always post intelligently as has been stated (tactfully by some, tersely by others) to avoid any confusion and/or discomfort for my fellow posters. For continuity, I would suggest everyone does the same.
