All the debates is very disingenuous. That link puts the top-posting/bottom-posting in 16th 
position, just above "line length" (which is very clearly a 20th century issue) in a list with 20 
items.

The top-posting/bottom-posting item says exactly this:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette#Top-Posting_vs_Bottom-Posting

======================
Top-Posting vs Bottom-Posting
Some people like to put reply after the quoted text, some like it the other way around, and still 
some prefer interspersed style. Debates about which posting style is better have led to many flame 
wars in the mailing lists. The most effective treatment of this question can be found at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style and we recommend you review this material and try to be 
an effective communicator.
======================

So, we now check the Wikipedia page where *nothing* weights in preference of either top or bottom 
posting.

So, if the lists at the TDF have voted on either method it has yet to be clearly documented and the 
current state of the readily available documentation doesn't suggest that any method is better than 
the other.

Can we move on please ?
