Guilty as Charged ! Yeap no love for mailing lists and even emails in total from me either. And yes I am a big fan of top posting or whatever its called. I prefer reading the reply first , see the quote later on. Having to scroll down a quote to see a reply is killing my inner child. But I have no problem complying on this. Whatever it takes to make people happy and smiley :)
The irony here is that mailing lists have been around for decades and still email web clients have not adjusted to fit the needs of having a civil reasonable conversation with people. People trying to claim that web is the future of computing (or the present) , lets say I am not impressed at all. Another proof that being popular does not make you useful. How come web is such a big pile of mess ? Frankly we should be very happy that we are a small community. Imagine this problem scaled up to a language of 1-2 million users. Scary stuff !
