I surrendered a long time ago and started top-posting like normal people do, but a few times I wrote to someone and they replied the old way with just quotes and bottom-posting, and then I immediately revert to that mode myself. I wish there was some good way to silently communicate that preference to likeminded. Then I would know right away when to switch to proper netiquette without the other person having to go first. And how often was I in an email exchange with someone else that also prefer to not top-post, but both did that anyway since that is just the expectation now?
