Evidently there is some significant dissent on the topic, so I personally view claim to right or wrong with strong skepticism, adhereing to the "each his own" philosophy.

It is not some group of people attempting to establish a custom.  The 
custom was established in the very early days of Internet (you know, 
Internet and email existed long time before term "the web" was 
invented).  Basically, that "group of people" is just trying to defend 
something good.

Interesting statistical note:  Most people that ask questions are 
top-posters.  Most people who give good answers are bottom-posters. 
Tells something ;-)
