Don't put this one on me :). This is a community thing. AndrewS reply
aside, if you review the "will" of the community on this you will see
that top posting is frowned upon.

I will be the first to step up and pick a fight when I think the
community is being dumb (just read some of my threads ;)) but on this
one, I have to agree. We should discourage top posting, vehemently if
needed.

Sincerely,
