It is amazing how people just do not care.  I was reading a few postings
on Yahoo's Finance pages (looking at people talking about the company I
work for) and there is this one character who has been told many many many
times, be he still insists on top posting and POSTING IN ALL CAPS... 
Someone should create a script that will bounce the message if all the
words are in CAPS and if the message is top posted, with a reply on proper
posting etiquette..  ;)
