Well, top posting is not natural and way more annoying in my book than 
anything else I can think of regarding email communication. A close 
second is certain mail clients which are usually unable to follow 
quoting conventions, i.e. certain MS Outlook version - maybe they just 
use the wrong default, I haven't used much less started any outlook 
client for a long, long time.

And just accepting behavior from people who don't know any better is not 
going to cut it, i.e. if you have coding conventions you will not accept 
code into your [i.e. sympy] project if it blatantly violates it. This 
might all sounds grumpy, but I have been around on the net probably a 
decade longer than many of you and things are quite different than they 
used to be. There are plenty of netiquette FAQs on the net - read at 
least one of them and learn ;)

This is getting way off topic now, so I will shut up about this.

Cheers,
