Afterall, I honestly never had heard of 'top-posting' before until
now, but just this gentle reminder means that at least one occasional
user is now posting more 'correctly'.
Hooray! :-)
If you would like to post even more 'correctly' - please read Netiquette RFC
(also known as "How to behave on the internet") which is right here:
http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html
or at least "3.0 One-to-Many Communication (Mailing Lists, NetNews)" section.
TIA. Regards,
I know that this will put the cat amongst the pigeons but I actually
prefer top posting. I've been reading newsgroups and mailing lists for
years and I have always thought that bottom posting was the wrong way to
do it.
I understand the reasons why bottom posting is supposed to be better but
if I am following the thread, which is normally the case if I'm actually
reading it, then I find it quicker to read just the top section of each
post rather than having to scroll down past everything I've already
read. There isn't a problem with context because I can remember that
from one post to the next. If the author wants to quote a section of the
previous post they can in the extreme they end up inlining their post.
I'm not saying I'm right and I often bottom post to not annoy people but
I have to try and convince you to switch.

PS Have you noticed that there aren't many people who are top posting
zealots? I wonder why. Maybe tops posters are just more relaxed and
chilled out people. :o)
