When I read this list, I'm most of the time at the office, using the Evil Software. When replying to a message, this software isn't aware of the possibility not to top post, so I often forget to do it manually (shame on me, I know). When replying to the list, I obviously hit "send" to fast... And I say "oups... The top post rule... Again"... Also, all the mailing lists I'm on right now (about 15) have their own rules (hard to remember all those different rules, but this is the only one "forcing" users to write the answer at the end of the post. Personnaly, I prefer the top post (faster to find the answer to a question), but I have to admit it's easyer to follow thread with the way this mailing list is doing. A way to answer that is completely unclear to me, is answering within the original post (hard to see where the answers are)...
