I'm a relative newbie to the list, and can imagine the obvious arguments 
both sides use. If you come in on a conversation late, you want to read 
every post in order. I'm guilty of systematically top posting because it's 
what I preferred and presumed the list didn't have a convention on that. Is 
there a policy with snipping conversations?? (eg. the above) I just dislike 
sending/scrolling through large amounts of commented text that is largely 
irrelevant or I've already read. Anyway, it might be an idea to include any 
conventions like that into the message footer or intro (welcome) message so 
noobs like me don't start a flame war. :)

It's not like the convention either way is important, but if it's 
accepted/expected at least let the noobs know!
