It isn't a HUGE deal, at least to me, unless someone goes out of their way to make it a huge deal.
Which is why I was sure to say that MILITANT top-posters get killfiled-- that class of posters who
always make a point of mentioning (or even focusing on) in every post how superior they are for
top-posting and how anyone who doesn't top-post is an idiot (and there are more than just a handful
of those). If it is an otherwise "normal" poster who just happens to top-post, I cope. But it does
screw with the flow of the thread.
