It appears so.

At the moment I am considering creating my own personal blacklist of 
users to try and quieten down the off topic dribble.

The alternative is to unsubscribe but I would hate to loose the insight 
of others or have someone else go wanting because I left the list.

The links at the bottom of this page direct you to the posting 
guidelines. They are short and sweet...

        "How to write a good mail?

        Just write a mail, You would like to read from very top to very
        bottom line by line.

        - Write what You would like to see
        - delete, what You wouldn't like to see
        - keep an attitude You would like to face
        - write a style You would like to read

        The following links lead to information which help You achieve
        the above." http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette

In short they say "do what you think is appropriate". There appears to 
be only one rule -- "read from very top to very bottom line by line" or 
putting it colloquially "bottom post or inline comments are ok, top 
posting is out.

I vote for moderators to end these off-topic tirades, This morning I 
count 3 or more threads with multiple emails arguing the same points 
regarding NetEquitte. Only one person actually answered a question.
