There is an additional problem of the new users not knowing the term 'top posting'. When I was new to the list I thought top posting meant a long subject line. I kept trimming the subject line to finally one word but still got reminders to not top post. Then Philip sent me a mail describing top posting and that was it. :-) -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
