There are plenty of lists out there and I have seen them, where people get banned from the list for breaking the rules.  Also bear in the mind the point about the burden being on the poster to get it right is a valid one.  I've seen lists where people have posted asking for help and the people on the list have all hit "delete thread" because they can't be bothered to decypher what has been written.

Although I don't disagree with you on top-posting, I wasn't aware that 
the KLUG had any rules on how to use its mailing lists? However, there 
is certainly a Highway Code.
