We only find out who "you" might be until we read down through 50+ lines of 
message.

Top posting is only useful if the new material stands alone, at which point any 
quoting is extraneous and ought to have been removed.

Just don't do it (top post).

You're right, and normally, I don't do it (it's not only inappropriate in mailing lists, 
but also in "normal" one-to-one conversations).

However, in this case I thought it would be OK because my post was not meant as 
a direct reply to another post, but rather as a general statement about a dozen 
of other posts that are scattered over this thread. As such, for being totally 
correct, I should have copied citations from every of those posts at the top of 
my post before giving my 2 cents, and should have remove the quoted part 
completely. At the time of writing, I couldn't see enough benefit to do that.

Valuable lesson learned: I'll just shut up in the future if I can't contribute 
at the technical level. My post obviously effected quite the opposite of what I 
have intended anyway. When focusing purely on the technical discussion, 
adhering to posting rules is easier :-)

Too sad that a known troll has got me. When reading his first posts, I got the 
impression that he knows what he's talking about. Sorry for feeding him.

Best regards,

Binarus
