Well, you're right if it's a list 'rule'. Sadly it's list 'etiquette' he's
not following. If you're allowed to be rude and nitpick on a mailing list, surely top posting using a mobile phone is a forgivable offense.
Neither are. luggers are supposed to be responsible. Nitpicking depends on each individual. We have on this list the spelling nazis, the grammar gestapo, the mobile lingo mutawas etc. Use of any of these are irritants. But posting without trimming and interleaving is a WASTE. There is a very big difference between waste and irritation.
