List Admins, please take a firm stand on top posting. Thanks.
I'm planning to take a different, gentler approach: when a top-poster asks for help I can provide, I will tell him that I can solve his problem, and also tell him that I won't since his lack of etiquette offends my sensibilities. If enough people start doing that, the top- posters will either learn or disappear.
There is an additional problem of the new users not knowing the term 'top posting'. When I was new to the list I thought top posting meant a long subject line. I kept trimming the subject line to finally one word but still got reminders to not top post. Then Philip sent me a mail describing top posting and that was it. :-)
