Is netiquette "strict"? This is no different than people complaining
about mobile phones. There is a discussion. Some say it's rude to have
one's phone on in a restaurant or on a bus, others say one should be
allowed to have them everywhere. Eventually conventions emerge from the
discussion. In the case of top-posting that has already happened, years
ago. Some newbies want to re-open that discussion.

Because people want to communicate with grown-ups who already know the
rules, not screaming babies who refuse to even consider that the rules
might actually make sense.
