Please don't top post.
Please do not use jargon ("top post") which the target is not likely to
understand - you are addressing a user of both gmail and googlegroups -
without providing an adequate reference to a reasonable explanation. It
is both unfriendly and generally futile.
You can cite (with URL) FAQ 2.3 paras 1 & 6, or the appropriate part of
some other reference such as in my sig below.
Be satisfied that the jargon term can be found in the reference, either
by indicating its position therein or at least by checking that a Ctrl-F
search for the exact jargon term will find it.
Richard writes "Please do not top-post...", bur Ctrl-F will not find
"top-post" in his FAQ, and the term is not in RFC 1855.
