Considering there is an RFC that recommends inline posting over
top-posting (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855), and considering the
fact that this topic has been beat to death on dozens of mailing lists
and the predominant preference is _not_ for top-posting -- perhaps you
should either follow the preferences of the group, or leave the group.
