Can we have an LO Mailing List Guidelines Page? Hi :) Really? Personal insults? Here?? Over the past few months there has been a steadily increasing amount of top-posting. It is not just one or 2 people. Outside of LibreOffice and OpenSource everyone else uses top-post almost exclusively. Smart phones make it difficult to post any other way.

I get so tired of this totally lame and purposefully ignorant excuse. You only have to scroll if the person who is replying *blindly* quotes the *entire* *message*, rather than - as *all* top/inline posting advocates suggest - trimming the quoted text to only what is relevant to provide context to your reply. You and Tom Davies simply ignore that - so what does that make you? Disingenuous (aka liar)?
