I am sure on those other ml they believe non top posters are twits.
ML's are communities were we try and respect each other.
I personally don't care in some circumstances I find it easier to follow
hundreds of threads by reading them top post, because I down want to
page down to read the 1 or 2 liner.
Other times I prefer inline responses and other times bottom only
responses.
My rule of thumb respect the list even if you think it is wrong.
As for calling people names because they don't follow your posting
rules, well thats just plain silly but sticks and stones
