It's possible, but it doesn't seem to be happening, or if it is, it's not 
effective. The last time this was brought it it wasn't done in a very 
friendly manner, and many people still top-post, either because they 
weren't Converted, or they didn't read those messages.

What you say about "sensibilities" is actually what I'm getting at... 
right now the issue comes off as a personal sensibilities issue, a quirky 
email war that surfaces every few months... What I am suggesting is that 
the administrators of this list articulate a casual, friendly, 
informative, approachable, and (thankfully) unenforceable anti-top-posting 
policy.

Just an idea... :)
