A lot of people on this forum Top Post.
Is this really such a big issue?
I can sum it up with the following quote:

A: Top posting.
Q: What's the most confusing thing about mailing list messages?

[longish explanation and field report why top posts are bad]
There are some good links providing instructions on proper posting in
usenet and mailing lists:
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
http://alt-usage-english.org/posting_quotes.html
Those who understand German can enjoy this one: http://got.to/quote
I suggest a monthly posting of a short version of this lists's FAQ (or
just a link to http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/). It would help making this
list more readable since it would avoid many unnecessary postings.
I do also suggest to use 'proper' (which implies a poduct from an
organisation other than Microsoft) mail clients like Mozilla Thunderbird
but that's just wishful thinking...
Kind regards,
Wolfgang
