Not in the Jeep NGs. We have more common sense than this. Calling most of
us rude is quite rude indeed.

Paul:
When in Rome, do as the Romans.
The polite thing to do is to read a particular newsgroup for a few days and
see what is the "norm" for that newsgroup. On this newsgroup, most people
top post, which I find much easier to read. No unnecessary long scrolling.
Whether top or bottom posting, the correct way is to clip most of the
unnecessary text from the previous posts in your reply. That really makes
posts much easier to read, either way.
