Of course we shouldn't be rude. Reminders would be helpful though (for
those who forget/neglect). For that third group, they can jolly well go
have conversations with other people instead =).

When I reply an individual mail to my mom, I top-post. When I reply to a
ML that goes to a couple of hundred people at least I bottom-post. Its
common sense to follow the culture/habits of the group you're operating
with, tourists do that all the time.
