Isn't it a bit of a stretch to extrapolate your experience with your 
lists to top posting being the norm? I am subscribed to several lists 
and bottom posting, proper trimming and commenting inline is the norm there.

Actually the norm is determined by the list rules. If the list rules say 
one must use bottom posting then one should use bottom posting. If 
someone does not like that then don't subscribe, find another source to 
ask a question (the forum, LUG, hire a consultant) or just bottom post.

Questions come before answers.
Answers come after questions.

-1 against changing rule #5.

Regards,
Patrick
