That is true, but you have to take into account that the vast majority
of people uses Outcrap Express which top-posts by default. Installing
T-bird or Sylpheed is not always an option. The best approach is being
reasonable: if the post makes sense, forget the top-posting. If the author
deserves blasting, blast him for top posting as well, what the heck.
