At the severe risk of re-igniting that debate, as a user of this list for
four years I would assert that there is *NO* top/bottom posting rule on
this list, just a few who like to assert it from time to time. There is
also no list moderator (apart from self appointed ones).
Having said that, I agree that if anyone wants to assert such "rules" then
they should be agreed to by members of the list and posted in the initial
sign-up acknowledgement post and in the regular monthly post. I expect to
see a healthy debate in wellylug-org before such action is taken :-)
I suggest followups on wellylug-org
