If the list actually looked like a real list, maybe people would start doing it the proper way? Now I think at least 1/4 would have been filtered if anyone was actually moderating this list.
What humans do best is adapt. You blend in. Most of us are monkeys.. either you like it or not.. we learn and do what others do... How many of the members of this list do you think have been a member of a proper list before? How many of "us" would read the rules if there was any, when no one is enforcing them? And those who _do_ try to enforce them are mostly YELLING and talking impolite.... Go figure.... PS: Top posting makes it faster for us to get rid of trash... Keep the top posting going as long as we have to do the filtering our selves!

I'm not going to say that I know all of the standards of mailing lists but as long as people snip the quote to exactly what they are talking about I don't think it matters where the text it. To be honest, now I have gmail which does mailing lists properly so I've given up caring. One thing that I did find funny is that I speed read that rubbish at the top because it was one paragraph and capitals but I read ironchiefs every word because he made it readable, something that few people seem to be able to do.
