When does etiquette change. So much has changed in society. It will of
course change in usenet also. Manners are not what they used to be. Such
as table manners or wearing hats in front of ladies. Is ettiquete
defined by popular standards of society? Should it flex with time as it has?

I for one will top post if I am not necassarily adding "in line" to
something. But here I am.

I am not offended by top posting, so to me it isn't a breach of
ettiquete. Is anyone truely "offended"?
