I think I started this, with what I thought to be a rather innocuous
parenthetical "insert top posting rant boilerplate here" instead of any
actual complaint about the practice.

I didn't intend to kick up a controversy, and I've apologized.  But
neither was I asking a question, nor am I ungrateful for the information I
get by mostly lurking here.

As Humpty Dumpty said, "There's glory for you!".
