I'm not sure you're mixing your request. The TB list rules are very
specific concerning top-posting, which is at:

http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/subtbudl.txt

You also received this when you subscribed in the welcome message.

However, if you're looking for an actual RFC, then 1855 is the one
concerning netiquette. It's at:

It's not quite so much black and white. Wrong or Right. It's what
the majority of people consider to be acceptable. Like writing
(actual letters) to a friend would be different from a letter you'd
write to a business. You could write to a business (maybe a cover
letter for a job application) like you would write one to a friend,
but I doubt that you'd be high on the list for an interview at that
point.
