Netiquette (was Re: [SWLUG] Installing RH via NFS ;-)) "help! I'm being oppressed!"

[Gareth James Powell]

Hi,
  Top posting does seem to punch some peoples buttons, resulting in
increased blood pressure, inflammable emails, and lots of bad feeling
for such a trivial topic. I'm just contrary by nature and will do it
because I'm told (told off more like it!) not to, live and let live
eh? Go have a pint ot two tonight and relax butty.

Regards,
Gareth.
