[Nottingham] Maillist notes

[Benjamin Crowe]

I also agree with Kev, I prefer top posting as Simon said whilst using Gmail
my correspondence with any given list hides any old emails attached to it
via the use of quoted text but this only works however with top posting.
Also if I want to see any of the "crud" I can just either just expand the
earlier emails or expand the quoted text.
