It may mirror the desires of the majority.

My **only** thought on this is that *repeated* top-posters deserve Kevin's 
admonition.  If Kevin has seen this poster top-posting, regularly (I haven't 
looked), then great.

If not .. give the poster a chance.  I'm guilty of not thinking sometimes, and 
top-posting, especially if I've come from a list where the norm IS 
top-posting.  I think I've even sent one tonight to this list top-posted by 
mistake.  Repeated top-posting .. ask or flame.  But mistakes happen.

If this starts another discussion, then fine.  Nothing should *ever* be 
written in stone, and the population of this list is volatile enough that 
anything that raised the blood pressure of one generation of subscribers 
should be raised again and again to allow the majority to air their view ... 
and make sure that the majority view hasn't changed.  Otherwise we get a 
situation where the one that shouts loudest (or even the only one that 
bothers shouting!) wins , rather than a true majority.
