Hiya,

Of course, this is an e-mail list. I prefer to read it as an nntp group
via gmane. So, in e-mail top posting (for whatever reason) is the norm,
while, in nntp land (usenet), top posting is frowned upon.

I'm reading this list via gmane. Top posting is in or out?

Top posting is discourage if not outright prohibited on most lists and
by long established netiquette. I believe it is a no-no on this list,
but don't have a citation handy.
