No, it really doesn't. If you have a broken tool, please don't inflict its brokenness on others, especially if you *know* it's broken when you use it. -- \ “Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.” —Mark | `\ Twain, _Pudd'n'head Wilson_ | _o__) | Ben Finney

Did you actually make a survey of c.l.p users to determine what fraction finds top posting poor human-to-human communication? My guess is that below 31%. From the top of my head only one name comes to mind who thinks top posting is at least sometimes appropriate: GvR. Note: you are free to install software that will automatically delete any post that is top posted and voila a, you will never be bothered again. Why not do that?

I'd prefer what Eric did (making a valid post, but apologising for using a poor tool to do so) over someone feeling they can't participate in the list discussion just because they don't have a decent email client handy. Now, if someone was to make a habit of it, then sure, they should be encouraged to switch to a better client. But the occasional post while away from your regular computer? Not a problem.
