Gah.  Didn't it ever occur to you that YOU are TOP-POSTING
AUTOMATICALLY!  Who made YOU the dictator of netiquette?

Above and beyond that, your admonition is childish.

I rarely get involved in (n)etiquette arguments, but this
is just ridiculous.  If you are going to warn everyone each
and every time you post, well, that's just a bit much.
Worse, a great many newbies have NO IDEA what the term
"toppost" means (in fact I've been on USENET off and on
for years and never knew what it meant until last year),
so you are busting their chops for no reason they can
understand.

Worse, it appears you are busting ANYONE's chops when you
reply to ANYTHING.  This makes you appear to be a crank.
