Here's Wikipedia:
"While each online community differs on which styles are appropriate or
acceptable, within some communities the use of the "wrong" method risks
being seen as a breach of netiquette, and can provoke vehement response from
community regulars." And further it says that community regulars citing
breaches of netiquette will cite rfc1855... But wikipedia says that rfc1855
is informational only.
This Wikipedia page also mentions that many businesses encourage top
posting...like for blackberry etc.. And because of widespread use of top
posting at businesses ( think office email ) bottom posting is now rarely
seen.

nicholas:
Different mailing lists have different rules for posting. It is like visiting
a foreign country, you have to obey their rules, not the one's on your home
turf.
If one was to bottom post on most Microsoft sites, one would get flamed so bad
that Norbert's rebuke would be just a light slap on the wrist.
