As a point against top posting supporters,nice, if they get the hint,
that is. As a regular post, if it's not monospaced fonts, you might
look silly.
Come to think of it, even trying to prove a point against top posting,
if it's not monospaced, you're probably going to land in everyone's
kill file. friend or foe,alike. :-)
