Every list I'm on prefers posting below trimmed text. But then again,
almost all the lists I belong to are technical and have been around for
25 years or more (I've only been using lists for the past 20 years or
so). Top posting on many of those lists will start a flame war _and_
cause the offender to be ignored by the old-timers. It's tradition that
has become etiquette. Perhaps the newer lists don't have the tradition.
