Surely you can tell by the subject that it's this thread and then skip 
it if it's such a big problem? I don't think everything can be reduced 
to a user preference; this is, as someone also pointed out, a public 
list and when you post on it it's not for yourself but for others to 
read. Some standards should definately be kept, and some rules be 
obeyed.

I am not saying that I can't read and decipher a top-quoted message, 
but I find it rather useless to quote like that, since the subject 
tells you the topic anyway, and with top-quoted replies you have no 
real way of knowing what part of the message you are replying to. But 
that said, as long as there isn't a rule on it, top-post all you want, 
and feel free to ignore this thread also :-).
