While I agree that this whole netiquette issue has been raising too much
attention, and too much heated opinions, mine was not a complaint. I do
agree that there will _always_ be top-posting, thread-hijacking etc. I
just don't think that simply letting it be is the best thing to do as I
believe some mistakes are 'recoverable' (Benjamin post on this same
thread is a perfect example of this), and I also think that wasting too
much energy about it (like getting mad at it) is simply not worthy.

Best,

Andre
