While many people on the list do prefer a well-trimmed post using the 
interleaved reply style, including myself, it is not part of the Code of 
Conduct for the list.

There are certain advantages to the top-posting style, but I think few are 
relevant for this type of mailing list.  It's almost impossible to defend a 
full-quoted message on this list, since it is publicly archived.  Still, 
posting style is not covered by the Code of Conduct.
