There's no mention of top posting, they are described as "guidelines" as
well as "rules", you only ever get sent them once when you join and there
not on the freelancer website and only rule obsessed people would ever pick
up on it. Its rule 5 not rule 1, get a life will ya, read the first rule and
just be cool, life's too short....
