(Above is copied from a recent post about a problem report.) Being a fairly new member of this mailing list, I did carefully read the guidelines about using the mailing list, but there was no mention of no top posting etc. And yes, I did top post myself one time because it is my usual habit because it is standard in the business world (for better or worse) and some people even take offence if you address each point because they feel that you are picking apart their entire conversation and being confrontational. I know it is not meant that way here, but it becomes a habit to not do it, and to top post instead. I've noticed that several active list members have had to mention this no-top-posting policy (and yes, I was on the receiving end also). Can I suggest that whoever maintains the web page with the main discussion about mailing lists updates the instructions ? Then we can hopefully avoid some of the angst and constant need to remind people ?
