It's not top posting but posting a message of 22 lines on top of 1242 lines of quoted digest that just wastes bandwidth. Even though Erin says [stoves] listserv runs on servers whose electricity is billed from wind power sources it doesn't odds the fact that such a post is using 55 times as much cyberspace and electricity as it needs to disseminate the message. This seems to have arisen on the back of un metered bandwidth broadband packages in the developed world without thought for those who may be interested in the discussions but pay for access either by the MB or time. In fact it does affect me because although I can read e-mail on a smartphone I limit this to important contacts simply because my package only allows 300MB/month and this list would consume too much of that.
