Sorry, no. The only way to get them to change is to *not* answer to them, ever, except with polite but firm requests to stop. >I suspect that since they top-post, they only read the top part of >mail... That's their problem. Why do you suggest to bore people who behave to teach the others better manners? Just to make things clear: sending again screenfuls of already distributed/downloaded/paid lines is much worse than posting on the bottom, on the top, laterally, or any combination of them. Top posting is just one of the many things to avoid. To me, however, asking to stop top posting by...top posting seems annoying for no reason those who don't do it, but also one of the surest ways to make people laugh at who does it. Of course, you are free to try that approach. Just don't be surprised if you are flamed to death (for top posting!) by all the other list members.
