Well, there's not a lot of difference between someone intentionally trolling, and in this case, someone who has had several people clearly and politely explain about conventions, what top-posting is, and so on, to get replies (top-posted) of "OK, I'll watch out for that", and "Thanks for telling me" or whatever the words were. In other words, "I read what you wrote and don't give a shit". Patronizing at best. Either way, life's too short to willingly subject oneself to an easily avoided annoyance, whatever you want to label it.
