The charter for this newsgroup

How about we revise the charter to exclude the clause on top posting.

Apart from some users preferences, and perhaps a weak argument about bandwidth, why is their so much aggression about top posting? Regardless of what the charters for this newsgroup say, people are still going to top post it because not only is it natural, it is the way some news clients work by default. It is also accepted behaviour in many, maybe even most, other newsgroups.

Although if asked I would prefer people didn't cross post, I find it even more annoying having to read single messages saying "Stop cross posting", stop this, stop that. I would like this newsgroup to contain information on Oracle, not newsgroup preferences, and to reduce the possibility of further flame wars in c.d.o.s and c.d.o.m.

Opinions anyone?
