Reference, please?  The FreeBSD Handbook  
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ 
eresources.html) has a general set of charter rules for the freebsd  
lists, which say nothing about top posting.  The freebsd-questions  
specific charter there says only:

"User questions --
This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not  
send ``how to'' questions to the technical lists unless you consider  
the question to be pretty technical."
