Top posting is irritating. So is scrolling through 20Mb of unedited text
to get to a one line response, which is often "Yes, I've seen this too."
Spelling flames are irritating too. And the most irritating of all is
reading messages on a mailing list which deal only with issues of
netiquette.

What ever happened to the very sound advice that used to be preached
that such messages should be sent privately, to the perpetrator of the
breach, rather than broadcast to the many readers of freebsd-questions
who are more interested in getting freebsd answers than a lesson in
netiquette?
