yes, there are.  i am going to make an assumption here and
assume that english is not your first language (no slight
intended.)  let's say you and two other people are talking,
one speaks your native language and the other does not.  is
it mannerly to speak in your native language and exclude the
third person?  i think we can agree that it isn't.  likewise
when you post to a list, you should speak like those already
present.  that is mannerly.  top posting isn't mannerly on
the majority of lists on which i lurk.

when in rome...
