I would think that if people properly trimmed their posts it would 
hardly matter at all and that life would be a lot better if we griped 
about that instead of where to post.

And I find the people who top post somewhat insulting, I usually top 
post because my email program has no clue what a thread is. I always 
trim my messages and unless the topic is really interesting I won't 
scroll more than 1 or 2 pages to see an answer.

And I started communicating with a 2400 baud modem so trimming was a 
necessity and a requirement of friendship.

I think the "Will Asterisk run on a Rasberry Pi" thread the perfect 
example of why this list is dying. I don't have a Pi but I did spend 
an hour one day researching one and I know I came across all the 
answers in that thread. Sadly, for me, the Pi is the perfect example 
of why there needs to be $25 USB to POTs and USB to analog phone adapters.
