Not debatable... not by anyone who has participated within the Linux 
community for any length of time. You are a relative newcomer to the 
scene. To adjust your conduct to the locale is always a good rule of 
thumb to follow. Many of us loathe top-posting and html messages 
strongly. Why offend people, unless you feel your very presence denotes 
some measure of justification to do as you please? That is the Ugly 
American syndrome.

If you hit reply to a group message and then change the subject line, it 
remains within the original thread, since the days of Pine.
