I too agree and was rather surprised to find this much discourse on the 
subject on a professional list, unless there is a posted 
protocol/etiquette guideline from the list owner.  I also was surprised 
to see the use of language not maintaining decorum on a professional 
list.  One can disagree using polite professional language.  I apologize 
for touching off a "hornets' nest", but I personally prefer to top post, 
as do many colleagues with whom I have discussed the matter.
