List etiquette

Can everyone please remove their 'Reply-To' headers from their messages? Every 
time I hit the 'Reply' button in my mail client, I have to manually delete 
the address in the 'To' field and add the ubuntu-au at lists.ubuntu.com list 
address. Replies should go to the list by default, not directly to the author 
(you can CC the author as well if you like).

Also, can people please respect the flow of a message when replying? If the 
quoted messages are bottom-posts, please continue to bottom-post. Similarly, 
if they are top-posts, continue to top-post. Readers should not have to jump 
between the bottom and the top of a message just to follow the conversation.

I am not going to get into a top-posting vs bottom-posting war, and I feel no 
need to. What is most important is that the flow of the conversation is 
respected.

These are simple points of etiquette that are followed on most other lists, 
and exist to make conversations more pleasant to follow.

Cheers.
