Yes, lists like this have etiquette that users need to abide to in
order for one another to communicate properly Otherwise it'd be like
how a dog wags its tail to signal happiness and a cat takes it as a
hostile gesture or mixing water with oil, it doesn't work out and both
parties leave confused. This is a good example, this email chain here
is very hard to follow because you top posted, this is a example of
bad email etiquette.
