This is utterly absurd. I don't mind whether people top or bottom post, 
although I do have a preference.

Deliberately mixing them just to make a point (and this isn't the only 
example) is plain stupid and /totally/ wrecks any flow of the contained 
messages.

I was going to plonk the culprit(s), but that would still leave the 
messy replies. It's easier to unsubscribe; which means I'll be sticking 
with OOo at least for now, when I was seriously intending to switch. 
Clock up loss of one potential user, at least for now. And ask how many 
others are put off by the selfish and thoughtless attitude displayed by 
some here.

When I've cooled down I might be back. It's going to be a long hot summer.
