Hiya,
Of course, this is an e-mail list. I prefer to read it as an nntp group via gmane. So, in e-mail top posting (for whatever reason) is the norm, while, in nntp land (usenet), top posting is frowned upon.
I'm reading this list via gmane. Top posting is in or out?

email top posting is not a norm, it's a consequence of a crap implementation from microsoft that defaults to top posting. a *good* email client will let you bottom post by default and you *should* trim the previous message of the irrelevant bits.
I'm reading this list via gmane. Top posting is in or out?
the real question is are you reading from bottom to top or from top to bottom? that will give you the answer on the in or out.. I, for one, tend to read from top to bottom...

Top posting is discourage if not outright prohibited on most lists and by long established netiquette. I believe it is a no-no on this list, but don't have a citation handy.

Yeah, the guide to using this list group states that top posting is not a good thing to do.
The war against top posting is a lost cause, but

Um, not as bad as trying to use Visual Studio 2005, the single most awkward to use GUI I have ever tried to work with and for a development tool amazingly buggy. (It even has apparent memory leaks.) I wish the project I am working on could use VS6. That was MUCH more useable and about 90% less buggy with none of them fatal like the VS 2005 leaks.

And I forgot to mention. Since Said posting is usually done in Arabic, a right to left script, it is indeed done on the left, so Bob is quite correct. However, as Joanne was posting in English, which uses a left to right script, she is perfectly correct.
Doesn't everyone know this?

Within an organization, or a conversation between 2 or 3 persons it is not out of bounds to top post since that is a private conversation.
Within an email list top posting is impossible (or nearly so) to follow for one not reading every single post.

Yeah, its saturday and I'm bored. :)
I've just the thing to liven you up, then. A good recording of Mozart's Eine Kleine Bottle Musick.
I'm afraid Mozart isn't my favorite composer. I lean more toward Willie Nelson & his geriatric friends.
Oh he has headtwisters too...just not the music
Toby Keith's lyrics to his song "Weed With Willie."
I always heard that his was top shelf Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself. Well don't knock it till you've tried it. And I've tried it my friend. I'll never smoke Weed with Willie again Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around The last words I spoke before they tucked me in I may discount Bungee jump but,I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Chorus
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it begins You can't pour me some old Whiskey River my friend. But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show Alone in the front lounge, just me and him I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in
Chorus
Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke No I do not partake I just let it pass by With a grin on my face and a great contact high
In the fetal position with drool on my chin We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

Yeah, and he got busted again just last week with about 2 lbs of good stuff in the buss at the time. But everybody claimed it as their own for personal consumption so the worst they could do was misdemeanor possession. :-)
But I don't do any smoke these days, haven't since the spring of 1989 when I quit a 2+ pack a day habit cold turkey. And I was offered a suck on the pipe just last night too.

quitting the tobacco is/was harder than quitting the weed

That depends. I think the girls have a harder time quitting, my wife has been trying for decades but cannot seem to drive on by the store when she is down to only 2 packs in the house. Me? I was sick of being half sick all the time, so the difference to me was worth the withdrawal symptoms.

Not a lot, although I did get off this chair long enough to put up another sheet of ceiling paneling out in the music room, and take a look at a puter from next door with apparently a dead psu in it.
The paneling has a shiplap pattern and wouldn't you know it, I laid it face down on the sawhorses to cut the holes for the lighting boxes etc, put it up, and then found I needed to turn it end for end for the pattern to match the surrounding panels. Hell, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any at all. It got nailed up anyway as there will be a cover strip over all the panel edges when I'm done. 6 up now, 3 to go. Then I start laying floating hardwood floor, 300 sq feet of it.
And its sounding like I'm going to have to pull the wall paneling off and replace it because the paneling I put on the rebuilt front wall is much better looking and 35 years newer than whats on the rest of the walls. Its real wood veneer even! It better be at 23 some bucks a sheet...

Err..it would have been easier if you had put the floor down first. as the paneling has to float over it to allow for expansion (1/8 " is about right) [doing that routine in my condo now place is a mess]

That will probably be what winds up being done now, depending on whether I can find another 15 or 16 sheets to match the three across the front of the room. I just hadn't planned on the budget being blown that badly. A $350 window has now turned into about $1800 so far... A new wife might be cheaper, but I don't know as I'd live long enough for the two of us to get each other trained again. I can't take it with me anyway. If theres enough left, I might buy me a bigger milling machine. If not, shrug.

don't worry about those posts since they are entirely devoid of any informational content and generally expressed for the gratifications of their ego.
While I generally agree that insistence on netiquette can be a problem in itself, the success of mail lists in general suppose a certain amount of respect for the participants.
