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

Top posting isn't that big of an issue. Drop it, please.

No bigger than other problems of poor human-to-human communication. I agree with Eric that it deserves apology, even if you don't think it's a big deal. -- \ “In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong | `\ with the majority than to be right alone.” —John Kenneth | _o__) Galbraith, 1989-07-28 | Ben Finney

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.
