Like I said earlier, it's a mail list.  We don't have our finger on the
"nukular" button.  We are not performing surgery (at least I hope none of us
are).  No one has a gun to anyone's head forcing them to read this
absolutely riveting discussion.  It's a mail list.  If top posting gives you
hives or sends you into an apoplectic fit, then there is always the delete
function.

I actually do bottom post whenever the thread is mostly bottom posted.  This
thread just needed a little "nudge".
