It's not uncommon that people post to this, or other Omni lists, with  
suggestions on how to properly post to it. Generally they are  
newcomers who haven't seen the last debate on the topic. Some of the  
others include:

- Should "reply" send to the list or to the poster?
- Should the subject be altered to denote the message as one from the  
OG list?
- Should plain text or rich text be sent?

I consider this Omni's house. If they take off their shoes inside, so  
do I. Since they tend to bottom-post, I do the same. Worse than top  
or bottom posting, is a mix where a whole thread is mixed together,  
partially top and partially bottom.
