BTW, one of them asks members not to top-post in replies ...

Yeah, sorry. This is the only mailinglist I belong to where folk still obsess about it. It's been interesting, over the years, to watch the top-post fetish move from cutting edge to atavistic (and that's not a criticism -- atavism isn't all bad). I do try to remember, but sometimes fail.

To be precise, "bottom-posting" should be "interleaved-posting".
Responses go just below stimuli.

Is it ok to obsess about trimming boilerplate?

Most other lists to which I belong have given in to modern mailing conventions, which largely have fallen to the dictates of Outlook (and even alpine) defaults.

I'm using alpine and have not changed its defaults.
