I think you may have mis-interpreted the meaning of "top-posting". And
the rest of your rant suggests that may not be all you don't understand.
He did, maybe he's not familiar with mailing lists, so here is info about top-
posting:

Also, to everyone who complains about top posting, stop using mutt and get
an email client with conversation threading, is much more comfortable.
To the OP, the amount of complaints you will have also depends on your ISP.
Go to torstatus and copy the emails of everyone with your ISP.
(copy the emails of people in your country, and then check who has the same
ISP with whois). Select only the ones that are exit nodes. Send them an email
asking for advice, and if they had any trouble with the ISP before.
Read your ISP's acceptable use policy and check if it says something about Tor
or proxy servers. If not, maybe isn't a bad a idea to contact them and have a
confirmation that is ok to run an exit node.
Remember to put the tor exit notice on the IP address on port 80 this one:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=contrib/tor-
exit-notice.html
Thanks for the advice. For now, I decided to set up an exit for port 80 and 443 only. I will probably leave it like this for a while and see how it goes. If all goes well I will switch over to the reduced exit policy. Thanks for all the advice.
mick,
My IP address resolves to "tor-proxy" and I have the Tor webpage set up on port 80. I have also spoken with my hosting company and they said that they did not have a policy against Tor. They told me that if they receive a lot of complaints, they might set up an ACL on specific ports. Their official response was therefore to give it a try and see how it goes. I guess worse case I can switch back to a middle node. They are a small company with great customer service, so I think they will try to be accommodating. I did check for them on the network status page looking for relays which resolved to their domain, not the best method, and only found two other nodes, both middle.
