any chance you fight that out somewhere else? the discussions about the prefered posting style (and no, there's no rule!) is as old as the internet -- and both positions still live and kick.
that can only mean one thing: for both prefs good reasons exist and no party could ever convince the other one. if you, please, would stop to argue on that mostly religuous level and look to what you (hopefully) want to achieve? "do not top post!" is as stupid as "do not bottom post!", and assumptions what users do, are always subjective -- if i receive a mail with bottom posting, i don not read the entire mail, but scroll to the part not cited (usually marked by different color or missing symbol at line position 0). simply always cut down the mail to tzhe neccissities, do not stupidly type either bottom or top. the realy annoyance is not top or bottom posting, the real annoyance are those stupid mails where simply everything everybody once saidf is included -- and even those fighting for "nettiquette" do that very often! a good rule _would_ be to imagine, that recipients _are_ reading the mails on their fr -- it easily reminds you to not live for dogms but for common sense. btw: those lengthy mails are annoying not only on the fr but even on my netbook with about 600px screen height! and that is use rather often to check mails. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
