Can't inforce the rules?  Well, no, that's correct.  But people can just stop responding to your request because you refuse to follow etiquette rules and list rules. Several people have kindly asked you to do so, but you adamantly refuse. You are far from the first one to be asked to follow the rules. Am occasional top post is not so bad especially if it's a final solved message, but you refuse to accept that top posting makes followintg a thread difficult and a nuisance. I suspect many will just quit responting if you continue to do so.
