The whole point of my suggestion is that I like choice, as do a lot of
others. We'll NEVER get the bottom-posters to agree that anything other
than bottom-posting is acceptable, and you'll NEVER get people who
aren't aware of the argument or who are agnostic to its outcome to
follow all the rules unless they're enforced by ALL clients which will
never happen.

So why not please all parties as best as possible? :)
