That's generally only true when the alternative is the worse habit of bottom
posting without doing any trimming.
What we need is two lists, one for people that like to top post, reply to
messages to start new threads, and who need munged reply-to headers because
they can't be bothered to learn the difference between the reply and reply to
all functions of their email client, and another list for those who don't.
What we need is more flexibility and courtesy. Then we need a lot less
anal-retentive asininities about "one true way". You guys are starting
to sound like religious extremists like say Jerry Falwell or Osama bin
Laden about your "one true way." A simple "Please bottom post on this
list since for our purposes it seems to be more readable" is sufficient.
Just a little bit of social lubricant helps prevent worlds of social
friction like this silliness about top and bottom posting.
