I don't know why it is so hard for the FreeBSD community to get that conventions have changed (for better or worse I don't know but they have). I have even had people complain about not top-posting because "I can't find your reply" and thus almost the entire world (except for a few technical mailing lists) either accepts or encourages top-posting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15648928 https://www.quora.com/Why-do-the-masses-utilize-the-top-posting-style-in-email-replies https://www.jefftk.com/p/abandoning-bottom-posting -- Aryeh M.
