I am reposting my views on the subject. Sometimes see that even when a noob posts a genuine question we are pedantic and first suggest top-posting instead of solution. Agreed, there are guidelines but top-posting is not a heinous crime and we should *care* about the OP's problem than worrying about such trivial issues. if you go through threads in archive and see that we miss *no opportunity* to advise folks on etiquette but really dont answer their queries. Newbies would take it in right spirit when we provide answers first then advice else may only get intimidated. Sometimes I wonder whether some people pitch in ONLY to say don't top post as if that is what OP wanted to know. People would slowly learn pick the right way of communicating in mailing lists. Am pure desktop user and have slowly learnt the jargons and forum rules and now see the benefit of guidelines but for a noob it could be discouraging. We should rate content over its form. If someone is deliberately flouting / consistently doing that, thats a different question altogether. Also, why not advice just the sender instead of whole group? -- Cheers, Anand Radhakrishnan When there is a drive, there is a path.
