Thanks for making this very clear. Beware that you may have to repeat this 
from time to time in the future as well ;-)

To prevent such threads in the future, could we instead provide an 
official policy, eg.

  - bottom posting is recommended
  - commenting about posting-methods to the list is forbidden
  - personal preferences to posting is discussed in private

(Personally I find the remarks regarding top/bottom postings more annoying 
than the postings themselves, because I've been exposed to this so many 
times and you cannot change the world, even when one appears better than 
the other...)

Thanks for intervening for the benefit of all ;-)
