You've posted enough that I think I don't really need to spell this out
for you, but in case it isn't obvious to other people:

There's a big difference between the behavior one chooses in one's
personal life (as exemplified by my .sig) and the behavior one uses in
interacting with other people, particularly in public.  For example, I
think that few people in this newsgroup would pay attention to a post
written in Japanese.  Top-posting falls into the latter category.
