Please end the "top posting" thread

[Sandy Harris]

There is no need to discuss this endlessly here.
Please, people, can we end that thread now.

If people top post and you feel the need to correct
them, please either resist the urge or do your
correcting in private email. Don't clutter the list.

If you imagine top posting is OK, read one or more
of these references:

RFC 1855 - Netiquette Guidelines
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html

Jargon File or "Hacker's Dictionary"
http://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon_6.html#SEC13

Mailing list etiquette FAQ

Ubuntu page cited several times in the thread.

Not surprisingly, they all agree that top-posting is not
a good idea.
