This reminds me of an incident that was narrated by a Professor to our
class. He said, a student once asked him that if there is a sign "We request you not to smoke", does it mean that it is only a request and one need not actually follow it. ;-)
Smoking is banned in colleges which makes it a rule. Maybe chewing gum is a better parallel? :)
A more important qustion is - do you only want techies here or users also ? If you want users also, then you have no option but to allow top / bottom posting from people like us who use mobiles to send out most of the mails. If not then you will be stuck with a pure tech group, which is not necessarily going to achieve the target of making linux more popular among users (assuming that is a goal at all)
