O.k. this might be a bit snooty but frankly it is almost 2008. If you
are still a top poster, you obviously don't care about the people's
content that you are replying to, to have enough wits to not top post.

However, I would also note that in "windows" world, it is very common
to top post. I am constantly retraining very smart, just very ignorant
customers.
