You can find a lot of funny stuff about usenet and mailing lists just by
Googling "Emily Postnews". There's a really good uber-sarcastic version of
a netiquette file out there that I'm not going to look for now, but it's
hilarious.

BTW, I ran across an excellent example of the trouble with top-posting
just a few minutes ago. In mailing lists that are archived and
web-accessible, if you jump into the middle/end of a thread, and there's a
mix of top and bottom posting, you almost can't tell what's going on --
particularly if the subject is technical.
