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.</blockquote>
<div><br>You're right, this isn't surgery.<br><br>It's far less complicated.<br><br>It's also fairly obvious how the majority of the community would prefer you to post. Most of the replies in this thread are polite requests to not top post.<br>
<br>You took it upon yourself (because you're special and unique and gosh darnnit, rules don't apply to you, you can do what you want) to start trolling.<br><br>If you don't like the standards, which seem rather clear, you can always leave. Expecting a community to bend to your will doesn't work. You'll just be met with more resistance, and in the end, booted from the list.<br>
