Can we please let this particular one go? For various reasons, such as software, style and the changing nature of reality, top posting is a common thing. This is the reality. I realise it breaks sacred oaths and trusts and I also understand a lot of people find it more difficult to parse, but it's the reality and, even if it could be changed, remarks on this mailing list will not change it.

I am happy to discuss this further with you over a beverage at the meeting next week, but it ain't gonna change, so I do not believe it's helpful to any discussion to continue to refer to it.

Thanks,

Brian
